BC Place lights up red for Dyslexia Awareness Month

October 22nd, 2020

BC Place will light up red to recognize International Dyslexia Awareness Month on Thursday, October 22nd.

For the 1 in 5 kids struggling with dyslexia, the teacher's red pen is a constant reminder of the lack of awareness and support needed for them to learn to read, write and spell and be successful in school and in life.  In recognition of International Dyslexia Awareness Month, Dyslexia Canada encourages buildings across Canada be lit up red for one day during the annual campaign "Mark it Red/Read for Dyslexia".
