Proclamation
"Child Abuse and Neglect Prevention Month"
October 2004

WHEREAS: children are our most precious asset and it is our responsibility to ensure that they have a safe, nurturing environment in which to grow to their full potential, free from violence, abuse and neglect.
Child abuse and neglect are tragedies inflicted on innocent children, an ever-increasing problem in today's society that crosses all socio-economic boundaries.
With increased public awareness, education and support programs, together with community involvement, we can help to ease the pain and suffering and stop the abuse of our children.
During Child Abuse and Neglect Prevention Month, groups and organizations within our community will be holding a variety of events and activities, and will offer information on the vitally important child abuse support and prevention programs that are available in our City.
NOW,
THEREFORE: I, Mayor David Miller on behalf of the residents of Toronto do hereby proclaim October 2004 as "Child Abuse and Neglect Prevention Month" to recognize the ongoing commitment of individuals and organizations in our community whose tireless efforts help prevent child abuse.

[Signed Mayor David Miller]
