WHEREAS autism impacts more than 135,000 individuals in Ontario, representing 1 in every 50 Canadian children and youth. It not only influences the lives of autistics but also their friends, families, and communities.  It’s crucial for us to raise awareness, and acceptance, provide support and promote a more inclusive society, and,

WHEREAS autism is a diverse spectrum that varies widely among individuals.  Each person’s experience with autism can change over time.  This evolving journey highlights the uniqueness of every autistic individual, emphasizing the need for understanding and support tailored to their specific needs, and

WHEREAS while there is no cure for autism, it is well-documented that if individuals with autism receive early and intensive treatment throughout their lives, they lead significantly improved lives, and,

WHEREAS, individuals with autism often require a lifetime of specialized and community support services to ensure their health and safety and to support families’ resilience as they manage the psychological and financial burdens autism can present,

NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that I, Mayor Wade Mills, on behalf of the Council of the Town of Shelburne, do hereby proclaim April 2^nd 2025 as AUTISM AWARENESS DAY in the Town of Shelburne, and urge all residents to participate in Autism Awareness activities, in order to become better educated about autism and create a better community for individuals and families affected by autism.
