Epic Opportunities is delighted to announce that Medigroup Health Services is joining us as a Dare to Dream Sponsor, pledging a generous multi-year donation to support our mission of Person-Centered Excellence and provide exceptional services to individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
This substantial contribution will significantly enhance our partnership and accreditation with the Council on Quality and Leadership (CQL), emphasizing the Personal Outcome Measures® framework. This framework highlights the importance of person-centered planning and the use of data to inform service delivery. These tailored services empower individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities by addressing their unique needs and aspirations, fostering active community involvement.
“Our team at Medigroup, comprising dedicated doctors, pharmacists, and other medical professionals, is committed to a holistic approach to community health,” stated Marika Sylvestre, Health Services Coordinator, Medigroup Health Services. “Collaborating with Epic Opportunities on this initiative is a crucial milestone in our journey toward creating a more inclusive community—one that values diversity and invites all individuals to engage fully as contributing citizens.”
The CQL, The Council on Quality and Leadership framework is grounded in principles of dignity, opportunity, and community for all. It aims to assist organizations and individuals in defining, measuring, and improving the quality of life for neurodivergent individuals through a comprehensive approach that considers every aspect of life. Epic Opportunities firmly believes in the power of these tools, asserting that everyone deserves equal access to opportunities, as we all hold value and can contribute to a better community.
“Accreditation is not merely a stamp of approval; it represents a transformative process that enables us to assess services, adopt best practices, and empower those we serve to make their own choices and exercise their rights,” remarked Ruby Reimer, Executive Director of Epic Opportunities. “We are thrilled that Medigroup shares this vision and is eager to contribute to a better society for all.”

Empowering Dreams Through Community!

As part of our Dare to Dream campaign, we were thrilled to support Kelsey in her educational pursuits through a scholarship that enabled her to acquire essential computer equipment. However, we all know that computers can often bring challenges without the right technical support. Thankfully, our friends at Computer Blues? Inc. recognized this struggle and were eager to help make dreams a reality.

Thankfully, our friends at Computer Blues? Inc. recognized this struggle and were eager to help make dreams a reality. As an in-kind donation to the Dare to Dream campaign, they assisted with selecting and purchasing Kelsey’s computer, and assisted with the computer programming to ensure she had everything necessary for success in her academic journey.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to Carolyn, Chuck, and the entire Computer Blues? Inc. team for their support. You are remarkable partners in the Dare to Dream initiative!

Congratulations once again to Kelsey, a proactive self-starter who empowers individuals with intellectual disabilities through her strength and positivity. We take pride in celebrating not only her achievements but also the way she uplifts and inspires those around her.

Manness Family Foundation Champions the Dare to Dream Campaign with $120,000 Commitment!

Epic Opportunities recently introduced its 2025 Dare to Dream campaign, celebrating our universal connection to dreams and emphasizing that aspirations are held by everyone, regardless of their abilities. One significant initiative within the campaign is the Bridging the Gap mental health program. This program aims to improve access to mental health resources for individuals with disabilities. Now in its second year, it has already made a substantial difference, providing vital support for mental health. The initiative not only challenges stigma and promotes understanding, but it also addresses financial obstacles while tailoring therapeutic approaches to accommodate diverse communication styles and physical abilities—an often-overlooked aspect of this field. In recognition of its impactful work, as Garth has seen first-hand through his daughter Lisa, the Manness Family Foundation is committing to a contribution of $60,000.00 over three years to support its ongoing efforts.

“I want to help ensure that this excellent program can continue and will reach as many of the individuals that access Epic’s services as possible,” Garth Manness stated.

Furthermore, Garth is committing an additional $20,000 annually for the next 3 year to support the campaign and other vital initiatives, including the Epic Home Fund. This fund is dedicated to securing nurturing, safe, and stable living conditions, allowing individuals to age without the anxiety of displacement. He warmly invites the community to take part in this effort, as there has never been a more crucial moment to demonstrate kindness and generosity.

“Lisa’s mother, Linda, was an unwavering advocate for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities,” stated Ruby Reimer, Executive Director at Epic Opportunities. “Though she is no longer here with us, her passion continues to inspire our team at Epic Opportunities. Garth has carried on this crucial mission, and his commitment to the Dare to Dream campaign truly makes him a Community Champion."

This year’s theme for is “Human Rights, Our Everyday Essentials.” When it comes to putting human rights into practice every single day, nobody does it quite like Talk It Up!, a committee of self-advocates with lived experience dedicated to human rights education.

Member Kelsey Sobiak explains, “Being part of Talk It Up! means I can share my passion for advocacy work and educate others about their rights.” This is put into practice through the creation of videos and presentations, and hosting industry experts to teach new topics on a monthly basis. Talk It Up! understands that human rights involve every aspect of our lives, and tackles topics from employment rights, to working with people with disabilities, to self-advocacy, and more!

For Kelsey, “being able to learn about my rights and teaching others how to self-advocate, or advocating for them if they cannot advocate for themselves, is my favourite thing about being a member of Talk It Up!” Learning about human rights is empowering; even though the topic can feel overwhelming, human rights truly are everyday essentials. Putting human rights into practice, for Kelsey, means speaking up when something isn’t right and exercising her right to education by attending Red River College. Her passion for understanding her rights stems from a desire to recognize injustices in government and speak out against them. Big or small, rights belong to everyone.

This Human Rights Day, Talk It Up! reminds you that the sky is the limit when it comes to exercising your rights!

Today we are celebrating International Day of Persons with Disabilities. In honour of this recognition, we would like to introduce Talk It Up! member, Tricia Sobotkiewicz, and share what human rights mean to her.
For Tricia, human rights begin with something simple but powerful: “the right to be heard”. What makes her feel like her rights are being respected is when people listen. Making space for the voices of people with disabilities is vital to an inclusive society. Everyone deserves the opportunity to have their voice heard, listened to, and valued. And for Tricia, the ability to speak her mind is not just one right among many, it is the most important one.
When asked what is one thing you wished other people understood about your rights, Tricia said “that I have a disability”. She wants others to recognize that her disability is a core part of who she is. It shapes her experiences and informs every aspect of her life. If Tricia could change one thing to make human rights stronger for people with disabilities, she’d want a big community to reach out to. A community where people look out for each other, support one another, and ensure that every voice is given the space it deserves.
So, this December, let’s celebrate community and honour Tricia’s hope for change by working to strengthen the network of human rights defenders. Learning about your rights empowers you to be a strong advocate. And, to quote Talk It Up!, “advocacy also means accepting help and knowing that it’s okay to have people support you! By knowing your rights and how to self-advocate, you can live a life of dignity and respect”. That’s why it’s important to Talk It Up!
