The Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada’s flag will fly in front of Creston Town Hall throughout May to promote MS Awareness Month, Mayor Ron Toyota having signed a proclamation to that effect on April 27.
Members of the local MS support group, their relatives and volunteers gathered in front of town hall on Monday for the flag raising, joined by B.C. and Yukon division community services co-ordinator Debbie Irwin.
That evening, the Creston support group gathered for a dinner, at which Irwin presented longtime volunteer Ken Chubb with the division's president's award.
