Mayor's Declaration - Human Values Day

WHEREAS, raising and increasing the AWARENESS of the basic Human Value of truth, right conduct, peace, love and non-violence, as well as all the multiple sub values like honesty, integrity, kindness and caring in the Town of Perth is a primary goal of this wonderful town; and

WHEREAS, these values are inherent in all creeds, countries, cultures and communities, making these values truly "Values without Borders”: and

WHEREAS, making the Town of Perth ‘A Town of Character’ is for the greatest benefit of all our citizens; and

WHEREAS, reducing and even erasing the incidents of violence of all types in our communities and our Town will bring PEACE and PROGRESS in all aspects and activities of this town; and

WHEREAS, unlike other walks, Walk for Values is not a fund-raiser, but a way to make the municipality richer and healthier by pledging our commitment to practice these human values, and be motivated to serve our community through volunteer work, or by donating blood or food for the needy; and

WHEREAS, Walk for Values is designed to raise the awareness of Human Values and to promote individual responsibility towards the collective future of Humanity, Walk for Values is a platform to educate people on the importance of practicing these five Human Values in daily life and the awareness it creates in the making of enlightened citizens for universal peace.

NOW THEREFORE, I, Mayor Judy Brown, Mayor of the Town of Perth, do hereby proclaim April 24, 2026 as “Human Values Day” Day in the Town of Perth.
