Hi Everyone!
It’s that time of year again….longer days, springtime flowers, plenty of sunshine and more time outdoors.
Just a reminder to stay “Sun Safe” while you’re out there in the fresh air!

Hi,
CLBC recently put on a workshop regarding RDSP’s. A number of CCSS employees were in attendance and have shared some of the documentation with us. Click here to view the newsletter. Click here to view a PDF version of a power point presentation. Thanks Leola, Shannon, Susan and Ken for passing this information along.
Safe and Secure is a book by Al Etmanski which outlines “Six steps to creating a good life for people with disabilities”. Please ask your Home Share Coordinator for a copy if you do not have one.
We have copies of two benefit packages that can be purchased by Home Share providers. One was developed for a caregivers group in Kelowna while the other was for caregivers in Vancouver. Please contact Ken or speak to your Home Share Coordinator if you would be interested in this option. Thanks.
