North Vancouver City Council Declares BC ADHD Awareness Week. Thanks Councillor Guy Heywood, Mayor Darrell Mussatto and City Councillors!Post from: Adult ADD Strengths
Cross posted to BCADHD.com. North Vancouver City Council October 6th 2014 has declared October 14-20th as BC ADHD Awareness Week. North Vancouver BC is now the third city in Canada to declare ADHD Awareness Week.
The first city in Canada to do so was Vancouver BC in 2011, then Airdrie, Alberta in 2013. One day our eastern cousins will finally catch up:)
ADHD Awareness has been national in the US since an act of the US Senate in 2004. Still not declared nationally in Canada’s parliament. Or any provincial legislatures.
That’s why we need more cities in BC and the rest of Canada to follow The City of North Vancouver leadership and declare ADHD Awareness week or month depending on the province, to help raise awareness of ADHD in adults and children and reduce the heavy burden of stigma.
My Vancouver Adult ADD Support Group volunteers and our partners are putting on the 3rd annual BC ADHD Awareness Week oct 14-20th to raise awareness of ADHD in adults and kids and reduce stigma. We have 120 BC libraries and bookstores doing ADHD book display in 60 communities in all regions of the province and an info table at Richmond Brighouse Library Friday October 17th.

Thanks to North Vancouver city councillor Guy Heywood , twitter @RGuyInNorthVan his North Vancouver city council profile
