Public health promotion dates offer a great opportunity to
raise awareness and understanding about health issues and mobilize
support – from your local community to the international stage.
There are many observed throughout the year related to
specific health conditions and social issues.
These calendars for health awareness feature remembrances from days to decades, promoted by recognized health organizations or the professional health community. (Note: not all are endorsed by Health Canada). Keep them bookmarked to help you observe or celebrate those important to you and your community.
Land Acknowledgement
We respectfully acknowledge that we live, work, and volunteer on the Treaty Lands and Territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit. Burlington, as we know it today, is mutually covered by the Dish with One Spoon Wampum Belt Covenant, an agreement between the Iroquois Confederacy, the Ojibway and other allied Nations to peaceably share and care for the resources around the Great Lakes.
From the Anishinaabeg to the Haudenosaunee, and the Métis – Indigenous Peoples who are our leaders, neighbours, and co-workers – WP Pensions + Benefits offers gratitude and respect. Our work is not possible without the generations of Indigenous people who came before us and continue on this shared journey towards truth and reconciliation.
WP Pensions + Benefits works to hold brave space where everyone feels welcomed, included, and heard.
