While Camp Nyda, a ‘Diabetic Sleepaway Camp”, may have closed, memories remain strong amongst alumni. Those memories are now enshrined here at the #birthplaceofinsulin. If you or your Camp Alumni Group would like to commemorate your experiences and memories, drop us a note (banting@diabetes.ca) and we’ll send you the details.

#otd 2003: Banting House National Historic Site acquired the Memorial Cross at public auction thanks to the generosity of Canadians and Americans who wished to see the medal remain in public hands. More commonly known as the Silver Cross, this “gift of Canada” was issued after the death of the co-discoverer of insulin, Major Sir Frederick Banting MC RCAMC. The medal is currently on display in the museum
