July 14, 2004

WHEREAS: mental health affects men and women from all countries, societies and age groups at some time during their lives; and
WHEREAS: emotional trauma is a profound human fear that has an economic impact on societies and on the quality of life of individuals and families; and

WHEREAS: we must all be committed to the values of acceptance, self determination, respect of individuality and strongly believe in the intrinsic worth and dignity of every human being.
NOW,
THEREFORE: I, Mayor David Miller, on behalf of Toronto City Council, do hereby proclaim July 14, 2004 as "MAD Pride Day" in the City of Toronto, and encourage everyone to support psychiatric and consumer survivors in their struggle for equal rights.
