WHEREAS raising and increasing the awareness of human values of truth, right conduct, peace, love and non-violence, and all the multiple sub-values such as honesty, integrity, kindness and caring should be a daily occurrence in our Specialized Municipality; and

WHEREAS these values are inherent in all creeds, countries, cultures and communities, making these values truly ‘values without borders’; and

WHEREAS reducing and even erasing the incidents of violence of all types in our community will bring peace and progress in all aspects and activities; and

WHEREAS Walk for Values, the closest event being held in Edmonton, is not a fundraiser but a way to make our society richer and healthier by pledging to practice human values, and be motivated to serve our community; and

WHEREAS Walk for Values is also designed to promote individual responsibility towards collective future of humanity as a platform to educate people on the importance of practicing human values in daily life and creating awareness and enlightened citizens for universal peace.

NOW THEREFORE     I, Mayor Roxanne Carr, do hereby proclaim April 24, 2017 as ‘Human Values Day’ in Strathcona County.

DATED this 4^th day of April, 2017.

Roxanne Carr, MAYOR

STRATHCONA COUNTY
