World Cancer Day will be marked by the illumination of Niagara Falls.

From 10:00 p.m. until 10:15 p.m. tonight, the Falls will be lit up in orange and blue.

This is just one of many events happening across the globe today to mark World Cancer Day.

This year's World Cancer Day tagline is "I Am and I Will", celebrating individual actions taken to reduce cancer rates around the world.

Several other landmarks across Canada will also be illuminated in orange and blue, including the CN Tower in Toronto and the High Level Bridge in Edmonton.
