Support Anaphylaxis Canada during
Anaphylaxis Awareness Month this September
Anaphylaxis Canada is proud to host an event
featuring the film, "Sabrina's Law", a documentary produced
by Lank/Beach Productions, Merit Motion Pictures and The National
Film Board of Canada. The film, completed in 2007, profiles
the story of 13 year old allergy advocate, Sabrina Shannon,
who died in September 2003 from an anaphylactic reaction while
at school.
The event will take place at the Royal York Hotel (Imperial
Room) in Toronto on Thursday, September 25,
starting with a cocktail reception at 5:30 pm. Following the
screening of the documentary our featured guests - Sara
Shannon and Mike Shannon, Sabrina’s parents -
will be on hand to talk about a journey which has led from
tragedy to hope. Others who were involved in the making of
the film will also be available to answer audience questions.
This evening will be dedicated to increasing awareness of
anaphylaxis and the significant impact Sabrina’s Law
has had both in our local community as well as around the
world. Funds raised through this event will help Anaphylaxis
Canada to further develop resources for school communities.
Sabrina’s story was instrumental in the passing of groundbreaking
legislation known as Sabrina’s Law which requires that
measures be in place to safeguard children at risk of anaphylaxis
in publicly funded schools in Ontario. Since this law went
into effect in January 2006, other jurisdictions in Canada
and across North America have followed suit. We now have legislation
to protect children at risk in child care centres in Ontario,
a ministerial order in British Columbia, and provincial guidelines
in Alberta and Newfoundland. While we are proud of these achievements
to date, there is so much more work which needs to be done
to protect a growing number of children at risk across the
country.
