The theme of World Down Syndrome Day this year is . Loneliness happens when people are not supported to build and maintain connections with other people; when people are left out of schools, workplaces, and community life; and it can be caused by stigma and discrimination. BUT, the answer is real inclusion - good friendships, feeling valued, knowing you belong.

We recently celebrated another successful curling season (despite the interruptions from multiple snow days). As always, we are so grateful for the incredible team of West Northumberland Curling Club volunteers. We are also very grateful for the timely completion of the elevator repairs so that all curlers could access the lounge upstairs for the celebration.
