I whole-heartedly support this initiative to honour the community Living clients. YOU make a difference!
I pledge to not use the r word and instead show respect! I do this in honour of my buddy Ben and all the Best Buddies as well anyone with a special need.
My parents told me when I became a teenager... "Respect never goes out of style" I live by this everyday and encourage others to always so respect. It is the right thing to do
Using the right words is so simple but it really changes how people see others. So happy to support this effort for our community.
BE KIND TO EVERYONE. words matter more than people think.
I will be voting for the Northern Ontario Party. for good reasons
Thank you for doing this
