Here’s a video from Amit on what’s going on in Community Support in Kelowna this week:
Down the lazy river…. save the date!
We’re floating again…! It was too smoky last year but we have high hopes for this year. Check out the pics from a couple of years ago and this year’s poster. Save the date: August 23, 2019 – it’ll be a blast!
We Day West Kootenays 2019!
Hey all!
We had SUCH a great time at We Day 2019 – food, fun, music and hanging with friends. Thanks to Viv for organizing and to Don and Lawrence for the music. Check out the pics and see you again next year!
Our 5th (!) CARF Survey…!
Hey Everyone:
Our intrepid reporter, Amit Ghosh, got a chance to sit down with Linda Siino from CARF to talk about accreditation, CARF and how it impacts Community Connections Support Services. Linda, Colleen and Paul (in the West Kootenays) were here the week before last surveying the organization.
More info about CARF is here. Check out the video below and hit us up with any other questions you may have. Thanks to Amit, Linda and Kathy for making this happen.
The Field! Check this out!
Meghan recorded this song ‘The Field’ that she wrote and sang and has graciously allowed us to share it with everyone. How amazing is this? Check out the song below and a great pic of her singing. Way to go Meghan!

Kelowna: Community Support is Changing…
Hi everyone:
We just want to let you know that community support in Kelowna is changing. We have in the past had a combination one-to-one, small group and large group activities for the people that we serve in community support. We are changing the support model to either one-to-one or global (group) which means that you will have to make a choice about how your community support services are delivered to you.
Our intrepid reporter, Amit Ghosh, interviewed Joel Gunther (service coordinator) and yours truly to get more information and explain the changes happening over the summer. Check out the video below. We will be also sending around a letter with your options and will be chatting with you about these changes. If you still have questions, make sure you check in with your Community Support Worker.
Special thanks go out to Kathy Herbert (behind the camera) who put this fantastic video together for everyone. Thanks Kathy! Thanks Amit!
Talent in our midst….!
Hey everyone:
Look what arrived in the mail yesterday! It’s our very own Michael Holdsworth’s book, Blades of Torqueadia. Check it out here…. and here…
Congrats Michael!
