Throughout February is Heart Month, our Community Initiative Partners are offering an amazing variety of opportunities to get involved and show your support for life-saving cardiovascular research, education, and care in Ottawa.
Our partners are passionate about making sure that these activities and events gain as much attention and momentum as possible.
From raising awareness of the importance of heart health to hosting amazing fundraising opportunities or participating in #LightTheCapitalRed, our proud supporters have gone above and beyond with their dedication to supporting the mission of the University of Ottawa Heart Institute.
Heart Month: What’s On in Our Community
This February, the Light the Capital Red initiative returns. Help amplify and highlight the importance of the Institute’s work by lighting up your windows, homes, and businesses with a red glow across Ottawa. We’ve started a movement with heart. As a community, you are the pulse, the beat that makes things happen.
Please consider championing the #GIVEWITHHEART Paper Hearts Campaign supporting the University of Ottawa Heart Institute Foundation (UOHIF) this February.
When you sell and display Paper Hearts throughout the month, you will support the world-class University of Ottawa Heart Institute, a beacon for ground-breaking research, education, and excellence in innovative patient care.

There are many ways to get involved and show your pride and support of our local and world-renowned centre of life-saving cardiovascular care.
Perhaps you would like to:
- Host an event for friends and family.
- Join with your co-workers for a themed workplace fundraiser.
- Light-up your home or business in a red glow.
We sincerely thank our inspiring partners for their generous efforts during February is Heart Month.
