    About Environmental Sensitivities (ES):<\/strong> ES includes conditions such as Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS), Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity (EHS), and mold illness. Individuals may experience severe reactions to common environmental triggers\u2014like fragrances, smoke, or electronics\u2014leading to significant barriers in daily life, employment, and housing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    The Hidden Crisis:<\/strong> Many Canadians with ES\/MCS\/EHS face homelessness due to the lack of safe, chemical- and Wi-Fi-free housing. Common exposures\u2014such as cleaning agents, mold, or nearby cell towers\u2014can make conventional housing uninhabitable. Some are forced to live in vehicles or outdoors, underscoring the urgent need for safe, accessible housing solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    How to Participate:<\/strong> Show your support by wearing yellow, lighting up your home or business, or sharing photos of something yellow throughout May. Photos can be shared on our event page or sent via Messenger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Photographers are welcome to volunteer in their communities to document participating landmarks\u2014details to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Join us in raising awareness and advocating for safer environments for all Canadians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
