Today blue ribbons can be seen on park benches, light posts, and even residents of St. Stephen.
Local teen Justan Rideout, who is now a quadriplegic after a car accident 3 months ago, is undergoing rehabilitation in Saint John.
The ribbons are in support of his struggle.
His younger brother, Braden Rideout, told Tide News that Blue Ribbon Day will give Justan the strength he needs to recover.
