World Diabetes Day (WDD) is the primary global awareness campaign of the diabetes world.
November 14
It was introduced in 1991 by the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) and the World Health Organization (WHO) in response to the alarming rise in diabetes around the world. In 2007, the United Nations marked the Day for the first time with the passage of the United Nations World Diabetes Day Resolution in December 2006, which made the existing World Diabetes Day an official United Nations World Health Day.
Sponsored by the Wasaga Beach Lions Club in 2010 The Wasaga Dome in Wasaga Beach, Canada was lighted BLUE to promote awareness, education and prevention of Diabetes. A photograph of the Wasaga Dome has been installed in World Diabetes Virtual Museum.
Thanks to all who supported this event in Wasaga Beach
