Norfolk County Raises the Flag for World Polio Day

Today, Norfolk County recognized World Polio Day (October 24) and the global End Polio Now campaign with a special flag-raising ceremony in the town centre.

Councilman Adam Veri, who is also a member of the Rotary Club of Simcoe, attended the ceremony and shared remarks highlighting the importance of this global initiative.

It was a proud and meaningful moment for everyone in attendance as we came together to raise awareness of the ongoing fight to eradicate polio worldwide.

Pictured at the ceremony are Rotarians President Pam, John W., Lisa B., Wolf L., and Cathy H., alongside Councilman Adam Veri.

Thank you to Norfolk County for recognizing World Polio Day and supporting Rotary’s ongoing efforts to make polio a disease of the past. Together, we can help build a polio-free world for future generations!
