The Easter Seal Society continues to find ways to empower children, youth and young adults with physical disabilities through programs and services that help them to reach their individual potential by "creating solutions - changing lives"; and |

I, Mayor Mel Lastman, on behalf of Toronto City Council and the 2.5 million people of our great City, do hereby proclaim March 2002 as "Easter Seal Month" in the City of Toronto and encourage everyone to support Easter Seals during this year's fundraising campaign. |
