Proclamation: Human Values Day

WHEREAS raising and increasing the awareness of the basic human value of truth, right conduct, peace, love and non-violence, as well as all the multiple sub values like honesty, integrity, kindness and caring; and

WHEREAS these values are inherent in all creeds, countries, cultures and communities, making these values truly 'Values without Boarders' and making the Town of Wasaga Beach 'A Town of Character' for the greatest benefit of all our residents; and

WHEREAS unlike other walks, 'Walk for Values' is not a fundraiser, but a way to make the Town richer and healthier by pledging our commitment to practice these human values, and be motivated to serve our community through volunteer work; and

WHEREAS 'Walk for Values' is designed to raise the awareness of Human Values and to promote individual responsibility towards the collective future of humanity. 'Walk for Values' is a platform to educate people on the importance of practicing these five human values in daily life and the awareness it creates in the making of enlightened citizens for universal peace.

NOW THEREFORE, I, Mayor Brian Smith, on behalf of the Council of the Town of Wasaga Beach, do hereby proclaim April 24th as “Human Values Day” in the Town of Wasaga Beach.
