May 30th:

Unmasking Brain Injury

There’s a story behind every mask and behind every mask there’s a person, a person that’s been touched by brain injury.

Unmasking Brain Injury is an international movement and, through the coordination of the Ontario Brain Injury Association (OBIA), Ontario became the first province in Canada to participate. In 2018, more than 1200 masks were distributed to brain injury survivors from 26 participating brain injury associations/partners across the province – including BIST. Since then, associations have continued the project during June and Brain Injury Awareness Month.

This year will be the first time since 2018 that BIST is participating in Unmasking Brain Injury once again – let’s see what we can do!

You can learn more about these masks on the Unmasking Brain Injury site, along with masks from all over the world, making this a truly international movement!

Please note: with artists’ permission, we are planning on displaying the masks at BIST’s / OBIA’s Mix and Mingle Fundraising event on June 5th.
