At last night's Estevan City Council meeting, they proclaimed March as Cerebral Palsy Awareness Month.
In their statement, the city says that the month is proclaimed to help the over 80,000 Canadians living with Cerebral Palsy by raising awareness, promoting inclusion, and advocating for better research, support, and treatment for those living with Cerebral Palsy.
The city council also invited Micah Walliser, who has Cerebral Palsy, to give some comments to the council.
"It takes 3-5 times the energy for someone with cerebral Palsy to move than someone without. That's why this disability is so hard."
Council passed the motion to proclaim the month as Cerebral Palsy Awareness Month, and invited residents of Estevan to celebrate March 25th, which is National Cerebral Plasy Awareness Day.
