Inuksuk Torch 05: Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada

On the fourth United Nations Observed World Diabetes Day - November 14, 2010 - I placed Resolution Torch Inuksuk 05 at the Halifax Citadel National Historic Site of Canada. The Inuksuk included a blue circle hula hoop, a small water resistant package containing a small booklet I put together "Celebrating the United Nations Observed World Diabetes Day Involves the Head, the Heart & the Hands", other general information about diabetes and a special blue circle pin. I know when we checked on the Inuksuk the next morning it was gone and I look forward to hearing more, or at least imagining more about what happened to the Inuksuk...

The Fourth UN-Observed World Diabetes Day

November 14, 2010 is the Fourth United Nations Observed World Diabetes Day. For this special day, my husband, two daughters and I are hosting a small but mighty World Diabetes Day Global Walk at the Halifax Citadel National Historic Site of Canada.

You can find out more about the Halifax Citadel National Historic Site of Canada at: http://www.pc.gc.ca/eng/lhn-nhs/ns/halifax/index.aspx

We are also planning to place a Resolution Torch Inuksuk at the Halifax Citadel National Historic Site of Canada. Included with the Inuksuk will be a blue circle hula hoop and small water resistant package including a blue circle pin and information about the United Nations Observed World Diabetes Day.

Hope that you find a way to celebrate and observe the UN-observed World Diabetes Day!
