Mayors Across Canada Proclaim Sept. 4th as National Polycystic Kidney Disease Awareness Day

We are proud to announce the 2022 #PKDAwarenessDay campaign secured more than 40 local proclamations, on top of dozens of flag raising ceremonies and monument lightings! We are extremely grateful to the towns and cities who have joined Health Canada in proclaiming National PKD Awareness Day.

This is HUGE support for the Canadian PKD community and we couldn't be more appreciative of all the volunteers, Chapter Coordinators, Mayors + Councilors that help to make this happen every year. Together, we will #EndPKD!

If you don't see your town or city's mayor below, please contact us so that we can reach out to ask them for support next year! (Please keep in mind that some municipalities do not issue proclamations.)
