What an inspiring day at Durham College! 🎓✨

Karla, along with Personal Plan Facilitators Sarah and Beth, were guest speakers for DSW students, sharing the importance of the Personal Planning process and what truly makes great support, from all perspectives. 💬

Karla especially loved all the thoughtful questions from students this year - one standout moment? When asked what makes her feel important, she shared: “when staff make really good no-pasta lasagna that I LOVE for dinner!” 🍽️💛

Karla also mentioned that they received beautiful bouquets from the teacher Deborah as a thank you 💐, and how much she enjoyed making meaningful connections with students.

Thank you, Durham College, for such a warm and engaging experience!

Today we celebrate World Down Syndrome Day! 🥳🧦

The 2026 theme is: Together Against Loneliness.

Loneliness can happen when people feel left out. Every person has gifts — like talents, interests, kindness, and creativity. Our communities are richer when everybody has the opportunity to belong and use their gifts.

In these photos, people from our Peterborough community are holding signs about a favourite thing they want to share about themselves. Sharing parts of who we are helps us connect and feel less alone.

When we celebrate each other’s gifts, we work together against loneliness and build welcoming communities where everybody belongs.

What do you do when the day is cold, grey, and lonely? ☁️🥶

You grab some friends and go down the street to PetSmart and pay a visit to some local fishes, birds, and rabbits! 🐠🐦🐰

While there, this gang of animal groupies also got to observe a puppy training class, AND even ask some questions of their own! 🐾
How FUN!
