Big Brothers Big Sisters month is celebrated across Canada during the month of September and on Tuesday night Humboldt had a glow of purple to show that support.

The light it up purple initiative was to show the support and the recognition of mentoring with Big Brothers Big Sisters Day. 

According to the BBBS website, "there are 41,800 Canadian youth with Big Brothers Big Sisters mentors, and hundreds of thousands more who would benefit from the presence of a supportive adult in their lives." Humboldt's organization has been around for 38 years and its growing. The wait list in Humboldt is currently around 24 children.
