Kitchener Rangers News Release


On Thursday, April 2, the Kitchener Rangers will Light It Up Blue in support of World Autism Awareness Day!

Be here at 7:00pm when the Rangers host the London Knights in Game 4 of the Western Conference Quarterfinals and help us celebrate the unique talents and skills of persons with autism around the world! The East Avenue Blue will shine a bit brighter in recognition of World Autism Awareness Day: each time the Rangers score a goal, the centre ice videoboard will transform into a bright blue goal light to honour millions of individuals and families affected by autism.

World Autism Awareness Day (WAAD), celebrated each year on April 2, was adopted by the United Nations in 2007 to shine a bright light on autism as a growing global health crisis. Autism is one of only three health issues to be recognized with its own day by the United Nations. WAAD activities increase world knowledge of autism and impart information about the importance of early diagnosis and early intervention.

The Kitchener Rangers are proud to join Autism Speaks Canada's international Light It Up Blue Campaign. Thousands of iconic landmarks, communities, businesses and homes across the globe unite by shining bright blue lights to celebrate WAAD.
