| WHEREAS: |
The Easter Seal Society of Ontario is dedicated to helping children, youth and young adults with physical disabilities reach their full individual potential; and |

over 8,000 families rely on Easter Seals to purchase costly equipment needed for mobility and communication, and to provide access to critical information, research and specialized camp and recreation experiences; and |
| WHEREAS: |
Easter Seals continues to find ways to empower children with physical disabilities through its programs and services, helping them to achieve acceptance and independence; and |
| WHEREAS: |
through a network of community partners, volunteers, parents, donors and sponsors, Easter Seals touches every community in Ontario; 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 2003 as "Easter Seals Month" and encourage everyone to support Easter Seals during this year's fundraising and awareness Campaign. |
