Lest we forget
Hi all:
Don’t forget that this Sunday is Remembrance Day.
Thanks Amit for sharing this video on Remembrance Day
Winter is Coming…
…and that doesn’t just mean it’s time to watch Game of Thrones on TV!
As we get ready to greet the wilds of winter, check out these winter driving safety tips courtesy of ICBC – and their special guests, Frosty and the Iceman!
Keep warm, dress in layers, wear sturdy footwear and stay safe with these Seven Steps to Cold Weather Safety on the Government of Canada website.

And, if you happen to build a snow fort, send us a picture! Welcome, Winter!

A Spooky Infusion for Community Inclusion
It’s getting spooky around Kelowna today as things kick into high gear for the Halloween Social – check out Amit’s Update for this week’s info!
We welcomed a few new faces today – this is Casper, and he is friendly.
And this is Casper’s cousin, Fred.
Is being friendly a family trait? TBD. Swing by for the social to meet Fred and find out!
Don’t forget to visit the batcave to add your dream onto our dream board before Halloween – it’s filling up fast!
Have you picked your costume? Let us know in the comments!

COMMUNITY INCLUSION MONTH: Pics from the Pumpkin Patch!
Along with Community Inclusion Month, October can sometimes mean cooler weather and shorter days, along with Thanksgiving turkey comas and staying in curled up by a cozy fire…
Not this year!
Our Pumpkin Patch-ers headed out last weekend for a day enjoying the McMillan Farms pumpkin patch, corn maze, pumpkin smash, and a hay ride. While out and about, they were able to enjoy a balmy day of sunshine with an extra helping of fresh air.
We can’t imagine a better way to celebrate the very best part of inclusion – connecting with each other! Thanks to everyone who joined us, it was a great afternoon.
We’re so glad that Joanne, our fantastic Management Support Team Assistant, joined us out and about on the Farm for the sunshine and fun!
Super big thanks to our Home Share Coordinators (Brenda, Karen, and Thea) for their hard work organizing this event – and especially for the delicious snacks, warm beverages, and spook-tacular “go” bags! And an extra big “thank you” to Thea for sending along her great photos to share.
Missed heading out to McMillan Farms with us last weekend? Not to worry! There’s still plenty of time to check it out between now and Halloween…things will just get spookier towards the end of Community Inclusion Month! Check their upcoming events out on their website.
COMMUNITY INCLUSION MONTH: Calling all DREAMERS…
October is Community Inclusion month – a month to celebrate all the wonderful ways we include others in our lives, and how rich our lives are as a result.
What better way to appreciate our diversity than by sharing our dreams?
So, starting on Tuesday, October 16, and for the rest of October we are showcasing the dreams that make us who we are by creating a gigantic DREAM BOARD to post on our wall.
Check out the DREAM BOARD in progress!
Here are some of the first dreamers in action on Tuesday!
Our DREAM BOARD is set up for anyone to add their dreams in, anytime they want – stop by and add in your dreams between now and October 31!
Special thanks to Lindsay for the pictures – check out CCSS’ Facebook page for more.
