Have you noticed the pinwheels outside the rec center? April is Child Abuse Prevention Month, and the City of Westlake is proud to participate in the Pinwheel Garden Initiative in partnership with the Canopy Child Advocacy Center. Each pinwheel planted symbolizes a commitment to safe, happy, and healthy childhoods for all children in our community. The blue pinwheels represent the 1 in 10 children who will experience abuse before their 18th birthday. By displaying them prominently at the Westlake Recreation Center, we stand in solidarity with the children and families impacted by abuse and support efforts to prevent it. Let’s continue to work together to raise awareness, foster safe environments, and ensure that every child has the opportunity to thrive. 💙 For more information on Canopy’s work or how to get involved, visit www.canopycac.org.
