Uxbridge, Ontario - Moving To Uxbridge? - Building A Community Of Character
A community of Character shows respect for each other and those in authority
"RESPECT"
"Respect denotes both a positive feeling of esteem for a person or other entity (such as a nation or a religion), and also specific actions and conduct representative of that esteem. Respect can be a specific feeling of regard for the actual qualities of the one respected (e.g., "I have great respect for her judgment"). It can also be conduct in accord with a specific ethic of respect." source wikipedia
