Bracebridge Falls will be illuminated in violet tonight as part of the Canadian Paralympic Committee’s (CPC) “IGNITE the Lights Across Canada” campaign, a nationwide celebration marking 50 days to the Paralympic Games in Paris. More than 50 iconic landmarks and buildings across Canada will be illuminated in vibrant colours to honour the Canadian Paralympic Team.

Going for gold
