…and again…!

Darren and the crew organized a day helping out Pathways Ability Society. They bought a place out in our neighbourhood and so a group got together to paint a bunch of rooms in their new space.

Thanks everybody who participated in welcoming Pathways to Rutland and working together to achieve something great.

Castlegar: ExtraOrdinary Tea Party Friday, March 28

From the CCSW Program at Selkirk College in Castlegar:

Join us for an ExtraOrdinary Tea Party on Friday, March 28 in the main pit area from 12:00 noon to 2:00 pm. The Selkirk College Classroom and Community Support Worker class from Castlegar is hosting “Your Story: An ExtraOrdinary Tea Party”.

Everyone has a story! And the stories of those who move through the world differently are amazing to hear, to learn from, and to share. This annual event, planned by CCSW students, promotes awareness about living with diverse abilities, and helps to create more inclusive communities. Join us for fun, refreshments, music, simulations, alternative art activities, and surprises for all to enjoy!

For more information feel free to message us on the Classroom & Community Support Workers at Selkirk College Facebook page. Or check out the event on the Selkirk College website at https://selkirk.ca/event/extraordinary-tea-party-ccsw-program .

Or give Jane Green a call at (1).250.365.1252.

Hope to see you there!

The Classroom and Community Support Worker Class of 2014

They did it again!

Cheers to  Darren and the crew who organized a volunteer day at the Kelowna Gospel Mission. Looks like a great time was had by all. You can find the newspaper ad with some more photos here.

Thanks!
