A flag raising and proclamation was held outside City Hall yesterday (Monday). This was to raise awareness for World Mitochondrial Awareness Week, which is centred around a disease that affects roughly 1 in 4,000 people. Christine Taylor, Mom of Zoey who has the disease said its something not widely known, taking them over nine years to get a diagnosis. As Zoey progresses out of children’s care, systems and will be set up, as well as working with social workers, and joining programs. Prince George has the only MitoCanada flag in the country.
