A Milestone of Inclusion: The Arc Ontario and Hobart and William Smith Colleges Celebrate 20 Years of Partnership!

We proudly celebrated the 20th Anniversary of the College Experience partnership with Hobart and William Smith Colleges this year, marking two decades of providing life-changing educational and vocational opportunities for students with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

The celebration took place on Thursday, November 14th, bringing together students, participants, dedicated faculty, and staff from both organizations for an evening of shared accomplishment and fun. The upbeat music, by our very own, Dapper Rats kept the energy high, ensuring everyone had a wonderful time recognizing the success and growth of the program.

Since its inception, the College Experience has been a beacon of inclusion, offering participants access to college amenities, audited classes, extracurricular activities, and crucial job development skills, fostering independence and community involvement.

This celebration is a powerful testament to the unwavering commitment of The Arc Ontario and HWS to building a more inclusive and supportive community, and we look forward to many more years of collaboration.

What a morning! ☀️🦃

Last Thursday, over 700 neighbors, friends, and families registered to gather at F.A. Baker Memorial Park to kick off Thanksgiving the Canandaigua way—together, with laughter, cold noses, and the best community spirit you could ask for.

Sixteen years ago, just 65 people showed up for the very first Turkey Trot. Now we can't stop smiling thinking about the over 700 folks who decided to join us... Not because we're chasing records, but because this tradition has become something truly special—a morning where everyone belongs, where community gathers, whether you're running your fastest 5K or taking a leisurely stroll with your dog.

Thank you for making this event what it is. Thank you to our sponsors for supporting this beautiful tradition. And thank you for showing us what community really looks like.

Same time next year? 💙
