Canadian Down Syndrome Week

How are YOU rocking your socks for Canadian Down Syndrome Week?

October 22th - 29th is the National Down Syndrome Awareness Week, a time dedicated to acknowledging the unique abilities, incredible talents, and extraordinary contributions of individuals with Down syndrome. Throughout this week, we come together to celebrate their resilience, courage, and unwavering spirit, while fostering a deeper understanding and appreciation for their diverse perspectives and experiences. It's a time for communities to unite, to advocate for inclusion, and to amplify the voices of those who inspire us with their remarkable stories.

Let us use this week as an opportunity to educate, to raise awareness, and to build a more compassionate world where every individual is celebrated and embraced for the exceptional qualities they bring to our lives.
