Illumination Request - World TB Day

On March 24, Mississippi Mills joins communities around the world in recognizing World Tuberculosis Day. The date marks the moment in 1882 when Dr. Robert Koch announced his discovery of the bacterium that causes TB — a breakthrough that paved the way for modern diagnosis and treatment.

To mark this day, Almonte Old Town Hall and the falls will be illuminated in red this evening. The red lights serve as a reminder that while progress has been made, TB remains one of the world’s leading infectious diseases, and continued awareness and action are essential.
