Community Living Chatham-Kent Kicked off Community Living Month off with a flag raising and barbecue at the Civic Centre in Chatham recently.
Ron Coristine, executive director of Community Living, provided greetings to those assembled.
“Community Living month is a month to celebrate the skills and talents of all people, and it is also a month to acknowledge that every person is a valued citizen of this municipality,” he said in a media release.
Mayor Darrin Canniff said the organization is a big part of the community.
“Community Living is amazing for what they do in the community, I cannot imagine Chatham-Kent without all of you in it and what you do. You make Chatham-Kent so special,” he told the gathering.
