November 14, 2008 was the Second United Nations Observed World Diabetes Day. I advocated for a World Diabetes Day Proclamation from Lunenburg Mayor Laurence Mawhinney and placed a copy of the Proclamation along with Resolution Torch of Diabetes Advocacy Inuksuk Torch 00 at the Historic Town of Lunenburg UNESCO World Heritage Site. The World Diabetes Day Proclamation from Lunenburg Mayor Laurence Mawhinney plus three books about Lunenburg: "Dutch Oven: A Cook Book of Coveted, Traditional Recipes from the Kitchens of Lunenburg", "Lunenburg: Then and Now" by B. Cuthbertson as well as " Bluenose: The Ocean Knows Her Name" by H. Getson comprised the Resolution Torch time capsule artifacts added this year.
To commemorate this day I organized and completed a Global Diabetes Walk around the Historic Town of Lunenburg UNESCO World Heritage Site - Find out more at: http://www.worlddiabetesfoundation.org/composite-1942.htm
Every year on World Diabetes Day, monuments and buildings around the world are illuminated in blue. This year I had the priveleges to see the Nova Scotia Province House lit in blue - See some related photos at: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=98994&id=695826141
