I, Mayor Mel Lastman, on behalf of Toronto City Council and the 2.5 million people of our great City, do hereby proclaim September 2003 as "BREAKFAST FOR LEARNING Month" and encourage everyone to support this important cause and recognize the impact of good nutrition on a child's ability to learn. |
