SPOTLIGHT: MANDT Training Week in Kelowna with Joel – Aug. 20-23
Community Connections is very proud to be offering the Mandt System training during the week of August 20-23, 2018, to our residential support workers and our contracted Home Share Providers in Kelowna. Click here for Mandt Week info! This training is presented by our very own certified Mandt Instructor, Joel Gunther (Service Coordinator).
We know that this is a time of year where there is lots to do outside, vacations happening, and travelling to visit family and friends. So, to be as flexible as possible and accommodate as many Home Share Providers’ busy schedules as we can, Joel is offering two days for the “relational” skills training section (August 22nd and 23rd). Home Share Providers would only need to attend one of those days, in order to complete the “relational” skills training.
If you are a CCSS Home Share Provider and interested in this training, contact Joel (250-491-2907) by FRIDAY, AUGUST 10th, to reserve a spot.
Joel is looking forward to meeting everyone during this exciting week of training!

SLOCAN RIVER FLOAT – Join us! (Aug. 24)
Join us as we cool off from the summer heat with our summer river float!
On August 24th, CCSS is floating down the Slocan River again! This is another great opportunity to connect, relax, and have some fun in the summer sun. You can float down this part of the Slocan River however you please – inner tube, dinghy, air mattress, life jacket and flippers, canoe or kayak!
Please join us – and we look forward to seeing you on the 24th of August! See attached poster.

Our WE Day Focus Groups are open to all – anyone attending WE Day can stop by our Focus Group. See Jane at Birchbank Station Picnic Grounds, or see the Community Support team at Mission Creek Pavilion.
We would love to hear from you:
