With drums beating and cymbals crashing the St. Joesph Scollard Hall Bears Marching Band left the bus terminal to a flag raising ceremony at city Hall this morning to help celebrate Community Living month.
May is Community Living Month.
"Our parade this morning is to help us celebrate Community Living Month during May," Darlene Brooks, Director of Quality and Accountabiltiy at Community Living North Bay told BayToday as the band prepared to march.
"Community Living provides quality services to people with intellectual disabilities and their families. The Community Living agencies across the province are trying to create a supportive and accepting community for people."
Brooks says locally they support about 600 people, both children and adults.
After some music, some speeches and a declaration by Councillor Mark King, a flagt was raised to mark the event.
