By virtue of the power vested in me
I Do Hereby Declare
May, 2025
as
“Community Living Month”
in the City of Pembroke.
Whereas Community Living Ottawa Valley is a non-profit organization governed by a Board of Directors established in 1958 and is a member of Community Living Ontario. It has approximately 200 members representing communities in the Upper Ottawa Valley and provides services and supports to adults with intellectual disabilities; and
Whereas Community Living Upper Ottawa Valley’s Goal and Vision Statement, “That all persons live in a state of dignity, share in all elements of living in the community and have the opportunity to participate effectively” advances and educates citizens of all communities; and
Whereas Community Living Upper Ottawa Valley remains true to its vision; foreseeing a society where all legal and human rights are afforded to every citizen without discrimination and where everyone is supported in their efforts to become a participating, respected member of our society.
Therefore, be it resolved that I, Ron Gervais, Mayor of the City of Pembroke, proclaim May 2025 as “Community Living Month” in the City of Pembroke
Dated in the Mayor’s Office this 6th day of May 2025
Ron Gervais
