to a link that will soon be established for the 2022 World Polio Day LIVE
from the Rotary Global Classroom at Durham College in Oshawa\, Ontario CA
NADA\," Past District Governor Ron Dick added During the World Polio Day e
vent\, we will be showing everyone \,Rotary International's new 2022 World
Polio Day video. We’ll be streaming it live. You will see it here live.
Global health experts and Rotary’s celebrity polio ambassadors will dis
cuss our remarkable progress toward a polio-free world. Oshawa-Parkwood Ro
tary Past President Dave Andrews noted\, “In many cities all over the wo
rld\, October 24\, 2022 will be proclaimed World Polio Day in honour of Ro
tary’s efforts to eradicate polio from the world. Rotarians will be gath
ering at city and town halls to acknowledge October 24 as World Polio Day\
, and to reconfirm our deep commitment to Eradicate Polio from the face of
the earth.” The world is on the verge of eliminating one of the most dr
eaded diseases of the 20th century -- poliomyelitis. During the first half
of the 20th century\, polio crippled over a half a million people every y
ear. Even today\, children in some developing countries continue to fall v
ictim to the disease - only 20 so far in 2022. But thanks in large part to
Rotary International and to the 1.4 million Rotary members worldwide\, in
cluding the 11 Durham Region Rotary Clubs \, the disease will soon be all
but a memory. As World Polio Day draws closer\, the world is 99.9% poli
o-free\, the fight to end polio is not over and Rotary Clubs worldwide con
tinue to raise funds to meet the challenge. Since Rotary and its partne
rs launched the Global Polio Eradication Initiative\, 34 years ago\, the i
ncidence of polio has plummeted by more than 99.9 percent\, from about 350
\,000 children paralyzed due to polio every year. Oshawa Rotary Past Distr
ict Governor Ron Dick said\, “Since 1985\, Rotary members world-wide hav
e contributed nearly US$ 2.3 billion to help immunize more than 2.9 billio
n children against polio\, and we have helped secure over US$ 8.0 billion
from donor governments world-wide. Coinciding with World Polio Day\, Rotar
y is ramping up its advocacy work in the 200 countries and regions where R
otary clubs exist to encourage every national government to commit to the
funding levels needed to close the gap.” “Events like this are happeni
ng all over the world on October 24 and throughout this week. Right here i
n our own Rotary District\, in southern Ontario\, Canada\, flag raising ce
remonies will be held in Markham\, Richmond Hill\, and other towns and cit
ies in southern Ontario. Oshawa Flag raising will be during World Polio We
ek in October at Oshawa City Hall\, and the Durham region flag raising for
all 11 Rotary Clubs during World Polio Week at Regional Headquarters in W
hitby\, Ontario. There will be a flag raising ceremony at City Hall in Tor
onto right in the heart of the city\, the home to the 2018 Rotary Internat
ional Convention and in the evening\, we will also be lighting up the CN T
ower\, The Toronto sign in Nathan Phillips Square in downtown Toronto\, an
d even Niagara Falls in red\, white\, and yellow \, the colours of Rotary'
s End Polio Now campaign\, to raise awareness to our cause and efforts in
eradicating this disease\,” he added. “We encourage everyone to joi
n us live in-person (we have room for 100 people) on October 20\, 2022 sta
rting at 6:00 pm eastern Time\, to see what Rotary is doing to keep our pr
omise to the children of the world – to eradicate polio” \, Past Distr
