SOS4WLD (“Statements of Support for World Lymphedema Day”) - OTTAWA
Ottawa, CANADA - March 6, 2026
#SOS4WLD (“Statements of Support for World Lymphedema Day”) - OTTAWA
In 2016, with the 6 March establishment of WLD, Canada’s Capital (Ottawa) became the first-ever municipal-level government, anywhere, to proclaim THE day… OUR day, on the annual calendar in the Lymphedema World. The Mayor / City of Ottawa has renewed that support for each successive WLD.
Thank you, Ottawa Mayor Mark Sutcliffe for the renewed participation in the LymphoGWG promotional & educational campaign, with the proclamation of “World Lymphedema Day / Journée Mondiale du Lymphœdème - 6.3.2026” … EVERYWHERE!
[** SOS4WLD – “Statements of Support for World Lymphedema Day” is an annual promotion for “the cause” presented by “Lymphedema - Guerrilla Warrior General” (#LymphoGWG). Since establishment of WLD, 2016, #SOS4WLD have been accomplished, Canada-wide, from all levels of government leadership & political stripes, plus from select LE-savvy overseas locales of note. This ‘S.O.S.’ is a double entendre for ‘statements of support’ while borrowing from the traditional call of marine urgency … “lymph” is derived from the Latin “lympha” meaning ‘connected to water’.]
