Dear Friends of Immunodeficiency Canada,

World PI Week balloon release in front of our new facilities at 415 Yonge Street, Toronto

World PI Week (April 22^nd-29^th, 2014) is a global campaign which aims to raise awareness and improve diagnosis and treatment of Primary Immunodeficiency (PI). Immunodeficiency Canada took part by: hosting a reception, launching red balloons on Yonge Street, distributing banners and posters in both English and French to 16 healthcare centres across Canada, advertising on Google using donated word ads, spreading the word through social media, encouraging individuals to sign the global petition, and supporting local events. At the University of Alberta students hosted an information table. "It was great to finally get the word out, but medical students definitely would benefit from more education on the topic," said University of Alberta dentistry student Mika Place. Immunodeficiency Canada supports World PI Week activities across the country and participates in the global steering committee. For more information on the campaign visit www.worldpiweek.org 

Raising awareness is a year-long activity for Immunodeficiency Canada and we invite individuals living with PI in the Greater Toronto area to join us on June 26 from 6:30 - 8:00 pm for a brainstorming session on how to make inroads within corporations. This evening will be hosted by Wendy Bodnoff, Community Relations. RSVP at 416-964-3434.
