World Ostomy Day

2012 is the year for World Ostomy Day celebration. The theme this year is “LET’S BE HEARD”. The worldwide celebration will take place October 6, 2012. However, October 6 is thanksgiving weekend in Canada. So, the board of directors has decided that Canada will celebrate World Ostomy Day on September 29.
You are encouraged to get involve in your own community.
Your participation will greatly increase global connection and communication.
If have any questions to contact chair Delilah Guy c/o National Office.
