World Down Syndrome Day Flag Raising and Proclamation

The ceremony will be held at 8:45 in the Municipality of the County of Kings council chambers at 181 Coldbrook Village Park Drive in Coldbrook.

Each year, on March 21st, we celebrate members of our families, as well as our communities, on this symbolic day. The date of March 21st (3/21) is chosen to represent the important date as Down syndrome, medically known as T21, is a third copy of the twenty first chromosome, meaning both are represented by 3/21.

A proclamation will be read, and a flag will be raised, to bring awareness to individuals living with Down syndrome, and to celebrate the important roles they play in our lives, as family members, friends, and contributing members of our community.

Read Proclamation by Mayor Muttart.
