The topic is about participating in Canada and U.S. Ostomy Day, which took place on October 4, 2014. This day is a special occasion for raising awareness and supporting those with ostomies. Here are some insights and advice shared by the community:

- The event in Canada is aligned with the U.S. Ostomy Day, and both are celebrated on the first Saturday in October.
- World Ostomy Day is a global event that happens every three years, but some people think it would be beneficial to have it annually.
- For those in the U.S., the National Ostomy Day in 2014 was on the same date, and more information could be found on the U.S. ostomy website.
- The coordination between Canada and the U.S. for these October celebrations is appreciated by many, as it helps bring more attention and support to the ostomy community.
