| WHEREAS: |
there is no known cause or cure for Parkinson's, the second most common neurodegenerative disorder that affects the lives of many Canadians; and |

| WHEREAS: |
the Parkinson Society Canada has planned a variety of educational and entertaining fundraising events during the month including the sale of fresh-cut tulips, their signature flower. |
| NOW, |
| THEREFORE: |
I, Mayor Mel Lastman, on behalf of Toronto City Council and the 2.5 million people of our great City, do hereby proclaim April 2003 as "Parkinson Awareness Month" in the City of Toronto and encourage everyone to support the Parkinson Society Canada in this very cause by participating in some of the educational and exciting events that are planned. |
