May is Community Living Month, and the Wallaceburg Chapter is kicking it off this morning with a flag raising.

A ceremony was held outside the Wallaceburg municipal building.

Community Living Wallaceburg President, Kevin Cavanaugh, says it’s more than a symbolic gesture. “The flag raising raises awareness as to that inclusiveness that we’re seeing more and more of,” notes Cavanaugh. “We’ve continued to increase the size of our agency and the number of people that are employed by the agency and that adds to the local payroll numbers.”

Next week is Blue and Green day on May 9th.

Everyone is encouraged to wear green and blue that day and share their photos on social media using the #inclusion hashtag.
