March 2004
| WHEREAS: |
during this month we recognize the significant contributions made by our Irish community to the economic growth, stability and success of our city; and |

| WHEREAS: |
each March, our Irish community celebrates its rich culture and traditions with a month-long calendar of events including the St. Patrick's Day Parade, which is enjoyed by thousands of people of all ages, from different backgrounds and walks of life, and the Grand Marshall's Ball. |
| NOW, |
| THEREFORE: |
I, Mayor David Miller, on behalf of Toronto City Council and the 2.5 million people of our great City, do hereby proclaim March 2004 as "Irish Heritage and Cultural Appreciation Month" to recognize the outstanding contribution our large and vibrant Irish community make to the social and cultural development of Toronto. |
