The Town of Arnprior has recognized Thursday, October 24th as World Polio Day.
A resolution was passed at the municipal meeting of October 15th, read by Clerk Kaila Zamojski, recognizing Rotary International’s lead role in the campaign to eradicate the disease.
There have been major strides made over the ensuing forty years, and the Arnprior Rotary Club is keeping these efforts in the forefront of attention.
Tonight’s talk will be followed by a special ceremony tomorrow morning.
Sadly, while the goal is eradication of polio, health issues in conflict zones risk prolonging the timetable.
