What We’re Recognizing This September at Purple Carrots

By September 1, 2026No Comments

Colourful graphic spelling out "SEPTEMBER" with each letter filled by a themed photo (a wheelchair, hands, a green ribbon, a hearing aid, ASL hands, a Terry Fox runner, a Canadian flag maple leaf, a cane). Header text lists "Duchenne Awareness | Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder Awareness, International Week of Deaf People | International Day of Sign Languages." Footer text lists "Arthritis Awareness Month | Terry Fox Month & Cancer Runs, National Day for Truth and Reconciliation | Muscular Dystrophy."

September is a busy month for awareness and advocacy, and at Purple Carrots, we like to take a moment to acknowledge the causes and communities that intersect with our work.

This month includes:

  • Duchenne Awareness
  • Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder Awareness
  • International Week of Deaf People & International Day of Sign Languages
  • Arthritis Awareness Month
  • Terry Fox Month & Cancer Runs
  • National Day for Truth and Reconciliation
  • Muscular Dystrophy Awareness

As an inclusive, arts-based studio, we know how important it is to recognize the full range of experiences and identities within our community. These observances are a reminder of why accessibility and inclusion aren’t add-ons for us — they’re built into everything we do.
