Niagara Health will be marking World Hepatitis Day this Friday.
They will be holding an event at Montebello Park from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Thousands of Canadians are infected with Hepatitis C but Niagara Health say many are not aware and remain undiagnosed.
Registered nurses and outreach workers from the Hepatitis C Care Clinic will be on hand offering testing.
The day will also include various community partners, discussions on liver health, addiction and mental health services.
Hepatitis C is spread when blood carrying the virus gets into the bloodstream of another person.
