Canada’s 150th “Decades” Parade in Huntsville- we rolled, we walked, we danced… we CELEBRATED!

Community Living Huntsville was asked to participate in Canada’s 150th Decades Parade celebration in downtown Huntsville on Saturday July 1, 2017. Approximately 30 people attended, rolling, dancing and walking alongside each other to celebrate inclusion to the song “Born This Way”.

Inclusive employers held signs, people that have attended “Celebrating Inclusion Tours” walked with enthusiasm, the All Abilities Dance Troupe had a great prescence, musicians, community members walked together holding signs that promote inclusion and general good cheer. The response from the crowd was overwhelming and so positive and upbeat.

Thank you to Teri Souter from the Town of Huntsville for including us in such a fun filled important event.
