Hey everyone, one of our awesome home share matches submitted an article titled “Inclusion Starts with Friendship” to CLBC’s magazine for their Celebrate Diverse Abilities issue.
You can read it at this link, on page 9.
Thanks to Shelly, Janeen, and Travis for sharing!
With the holiday season nearly upon us, many turn to shopping for presents and checking out what is new in stores.
While this can get stressful, Denise, Dave, Doreen and Samantha took a break from the frenzy to have a spot of fun – check out their video!
Thanks for sharing with us, guys!

Hi everyone:
Please check out this video of our community events reporter talking about his trip to England. Very informative, thanks Amit!
Hey everyone, you might remember back in the spring we heard from Josh all about his first time riding a horse…
Well, Josh is still at it, and improving his skills each time he goes out!
Way to go, Josh! What a fantastic way to spend a sunny afternoon.
Josh and his roommate, Neil, also shared some more of their favorite things! Heading out for a walk, lounging on the grass, and eating dinner out at restaurants all made the list…
Thanks to Josh, Neil, and their team (especially Anshulee) for sharing a few of their favorite things! It all looks like great fun. Way to go, guys!
What are some of your favorite things to do? Let us know in the comments!
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.
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.
