We learned that today is CHARGE Syndrome Awareness Day, so we thought we would share some information about this complex syndrome.

The mission of the CHARGE Syndrome Foundation is to provide support to individuals with CHARGE and their families; to gather, develop, maintain and distribute information about CHARGE syndrome; and to promote awareness and research regarding its cause and management.

Today was THE BEST day celebrating Disability Pride month at Beach Meadows Beach! A huge thank you to Jane Dunlop-Stevenson for sharing her talent and time helping us with sand art creations!
What a special, unique way to highlight the contributions of people with disabilties.
Thank you to everyone that came out to help us celebrate today 🎉🤩⛱️☀️

July is Disability Pride Month!
🖤❤️💛🤍💙💚🖤

Disability Pride month is a time to recognize, celebrate, and honor the identities, contributions, and rights of people with disabilities. Even though it is our mission to promote awareness, acceptance and inclusion every month of the year, we enjoy taking this month to really celebrate!

A big thank you to Shaninne, one of our program instructors, who first brought the idea of celebrating Disability Pride Month to QASL. Her passion helped start a tradition we’re proud to continue. To kick off the month this year, she reached out to the talented Jane Dunlop-Stevenson to create a Sand Art Mural of a symbol that has been a guiding force for QASL's social enterprise Riverbank....our Butterfly.

We are very excited to be hosting a Disability Pride event from 10-12 on Tuesday, July 22nd in the sand at Beach Meadows, where Jane will be demonstrating her incredible sand art talents and guiding us through a creation of our own.

We hope you'll join us in working together to create a supportive community where everyone can thrive. In the meantime, please enjoy the stunning visual that Jane created on Summerville Beach to help us spread our message.

One Ticket. One Chance. One Big Difference.

Imagine this:
A young man living with a disability finally moves into a supportive home where he feels safe.
He joins a gardening group.
He cooks his own meals.
He laughs with housemates.
He thrives.

This is what your 50/50 ticket supports.
Real people. Real progress. Real inclusion.

We’ve teamed up with organizations across Nova Scotia to launch a province-wide 50/50 raffle—and your ticket helps fund life-changing supports for people living with disabilities and mental illness.

Half the pot goes to the winner.
The other half helps build inclusive communities across Nova Scotia.

First draw is July 28
