Today, March 21, we join communities around the world in recognizing World Down Syndrome Day—a day dedicated to raising awareness, celebrating inclusion, and recognizing the unique contributions of individuals with Down syndrome.

The date (3/21) symbolizes trisomy 21, the genetic condition associated with Down syndrome and serves as a reminder of the importance of understanding, acceptance, and belonging in all aspects of community life.

Here in our community, we are especially proud to celebrate and honour a truly remarkable individual, our Honorary Mayor, Asher Kalem Chips McGonigle

Asher, you are a most valued and cherished member of our community. Your presence brings joy, kindness, and a sense of connection that strengthens the fabric of our community. You remind us all of the importance of compassion, inclusion, and celebrating what makes each of us unique.

On behalf of Council and staff, we extend our heartfelt appreciation. We are grateful for the light you bring to our town and for the role you play in making our community a welcoming and supportive place for all.

Today and every day, we celebrate you.


Please note, wearing two different socks is a demonstration of support for Down Syndrome awareness.

The Town is aware of recent and unfortunate commentary circulating on social media. As a matter of practice, the Town does not respond to or engage with individual claims or speculation shared online.

Our priority remains where it belongs — serving the residents of Lake Cowichan. We will continue supporting our staff and working with Council’s leadership to ensure our limited resources are focused on delivering the programs and services our residents value and depend on.

We trust that the broader community recognizes the work being done and the dedication of those who serve this town, both on Council and within the Administration.

Ps - these are just some of the hands at work supporting our beautiful town.
