On May 15, Sarnia is helping lead the way for Vascular Birthmark Awareness Day across Canada. ❤️

A local mom is encouraging our community to take part in a simple but powerful gesture: wear a red heart on your face (with a sticker or washable marker) to show that “every birthmark is a masterpiece.”

What started as advocacy for her daughter is growing into a movement focused on helping every child feel seen, included, and celebrated.

The support across Sarnia-Lambton has been incredible:
❤️ Mayor Mike Bradley is lighting City Hall red
❤️ Support from LKDSB and SCCDSB
❤️ Community organizations including YMCA, BGC, Pathways, the Chamber, and Global Donuts are participating

On May 15, join the movement and
