City Hall and Springer Market Square will be lit up red for Mark It Read. Mark It Read is the official Canadian celebration for Dyslexia Awareness Month. Dyslexia is a hereditary disability that makes it difficult to read, write, and spell. The teacher’s red pen can therefore be a constant reminder of the lack of support needed for kids to be successful. During October, the colour red helps to raise awareness of the prevalence of dyslexia as well as the work that needs to be done to support young Canadians who are often left feeling frustrated and isolated.
