He read out and then presented the Proclamation naming October 24th as World Polio Day in the City of Vancouver.
Vancouver City hall will be illuminated in red for the day.
Rotary has been at the forefront of the global polio eradication campaign for 40 years. Worldwide polio cases have dropped from 1000 per day to less than 100 per year and we are getting close to eliminating this disease forever.
