He said when he shared that with Kirwin, much to his surprise, she did not cancel, she was not upset and neither did she demand that the venue be changed. \u201cShe sympathized with how I felt\u2026 and said &#8216;I understand how you feel and I\u2019m sorry you feel that way, but I\u2019m also glad you feel that way because you have an inkling now of what it feels like for people with mobility issues, and other disabilities, every single day of their life&#8217;,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd I thought what a powerful way to teach somebody and change their thinking. It was a message that I\u2019ll never forget as long as I live and it certainly changed me forever.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Aitchison noted that while Kirwin would probably focus on the work still to be done, \u201con a day like today, I want you to know that I do, council, and certainly all of Huntsville [does]  celebrate the tremendous progress that you have brought to Huntsville. You\u2019ve put us on the map in terms of accessibility and we\u2019ve all grown tremendously.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Aitchison recently instituted a custom supported by council, where the flag at Town Hall will be replaced every month, \u201cso we can make sure it is never tattered, but we save every flag now just like they do in Parliament Hill,\u201d he said, and added that the flags are then presented as a gift to those who make important contributions and deserve to be honoured. He presented the flag to Kirwin who thanked current and preceding councils and municipal staff members for working with her committee.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTogether we have made Huntsville a better place to live,\u201d Kirwin said to a standing ovation from those present.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Don\u2019t miss out on Doppler!
