No R word1Community Living North Bay is trying to convince people not to to use the “R” word.

As a result, they’ve started a campaign to spread the word to end the word.

Tammy Allan is the manager of community participation supports. She says they marked the campaign on Wednesday for a special reason as it was the International Day of Inclusion and Respect.  Allan says they have banners in support of the campaign at several city locations including F.J. Dellandrea Place, the North Bay Transit depot, Canadore College and 3 high schools: Widdifield, St Joseph-Scollard Hall and West Ferris.

She says much of North Bay respects everyone and they just want to spread the word and convince people not to use the “R” word.
