Purple Day - Epilepsy Awareness

May 14, 2014

 

On March 26, 2014 I had the pleasure of working with the charity Epilepsy Ottawa-Carleton to cover their Purple Day event outside City Hall.  In attendance were Cassidy Megan--who created Epilepsy Awareness Day--Mayor Watson, Miss Teen Ottawa Karina Wang, the charity's staff and volunteers, and many of the clients who benefit from their work. 

Here are a few images from the day.
