Welcome letter for Flag Raising Event Richmond Hill

I would like to acknowledge that Richmond Hill is situated on lands covered by Treaty 13 and the Williams Treaties. Over several centuries, Richmond Hill has been traversed by many First Nations and is currently home to Indigenous peoples from across Turtle Island.” The City of Richmond Hill has joined the UNESCO Coalition of Inclusive Municipalities and adopted a new land acknowledgement as part of its renewed pledge to expand diversity, inclusion and equity efforts.

The York Region MY MS FAMILY Chapter welcomes each and one of you to the 11th City of Richmond Hill MS Flag Raising Event. It’s an exciting and important time for the Chapter as we continue to build awareness and reach out to the citizens of Richmond Hill, to help and support those living with MS. The MS Flag, flying high at the Richmond Hill City Hall will be a beacon that we are here to raise awareness and much need funds to find a CURE for this debilitating disease. We will tear down barriers, build bridges, and to deliver hope and encouragement to all citizens’ living with MS.

Mayor David West, Deputy Mayor Godwin Chan and Joe DiPaola, Regional Councilors and City Councilors, Federal MP’s and Provincial MPP’s  thank you for your continued support and for joining forces with the York Region MY MS  FAMILY Chapter in helping us in obtaining our GOALS

Let me give you a brief update on where we are today. Our York Region MY MS FAMILY Chapter consists of over 350 members living with MS and many more including their family members. Multiple Sclerosis is not an individual disease. MS also affects the family and friends of those affected by MS. Therefore our membership exceeds thousands. Our focus is to help our members with accessibility needs as well their emotional and financial needs. We need your help and support! You have heard it takes a village to raise a child. What does it take to raise a community?  It takes an organization and a city with dedicated citizens to help those in need. This is the reason why we are here today. We are very proud to be associated with such a forward thinking compassionate and consciences community like The City of Richmond Hill.

My personal respect and thanks goes out to all of you.  Thank you for your time

One smile a day and one positive thought ….
