Monday, March 23 is STA Down Syndrome Day. Wear mismatched socks to show your support!
World Down Syndrome Day (WDSD) is an opportunity to recognize and celebrate people with Down Syndrome around the globe. In 2012, the United Nations decided to select March 21st, the 3rd month of the year, as WDSD, to signify the uniqueness of the triplication (trisomy) of the 21st chromosome which causes Down Syndrome. This day was also declared Ontario Down Syndrome Day by the Legislative Assembly of Ontario in 2016.
