Today we raised the flag for World Down Syndrome Day at #BurlON City Hall. World Down Syndrome Day is observed on the 21st day of the third month to represent the tripling of the 21st chromosome found in those individuals with Down Syndrome. This day aims to raise awareness and understanding of Down syndrome, improve the quality of life for people with Down syndrome, and celebrate their joy. Thank you to the Halton Down Syndrome Association for actively supporting and encouraging meaningful participation of people with Down syndrome in all spaces in society.

#EarthHour is taking place on March 22 at 8:30 p.m. 🌍💡 Each year during Earth Hour, individuals, businesses, and landmarks turn off non-essential lights for one hour as a symbolic gesture to highlight climate change, biodiversity loss, and the importance of sustainable living. By turning off non-essential lights for one hour, we send a powerful message about the importance of protecting our planet. But Earth Hour is more than just turning off the lights—it’s about taking action! This year, we encourage you to #TakeActionBurlington and participate in the #BiggestHourForEarth by giving an hour of your time to do something positive for our planet. 🔗 Learn more: bit.ly/3DJlUV7
