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 a day!!
Durham CPS was all a-buzz with creativity as everyone took part in a large-scale group painting that combined all the skills, imagination, and joy from everyone in the room.

Amazing!!!

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!

The Durham CPS crew got into the St. Paddy’s spirit with a splash of creativity! ☘️🎨

They had a blast learning watercolour techniques while painting some VERY Irish-y masterpieces - full of green, charm, and maybe a little luck too! 🌈💚

🌊 Catch the wave! 🌊

In protest of todays cold and snow, Peterborough CPS made a splash with today’s "Catch A Wave Day"! From painting beautiful ocean scenes and sea creatures 🎨🐠 to enjoying beachy-themed snacks, it was a day full of creativity, fun, and coastal vibes. 🏖️

No sunscreen required - just imagination and good times all around! 😎

Learning that keeps us on the right track! 🚦

Durham CPS recently welcomed the Safety and Transportation Department for an engaging presentation on road and vehicle safety. 🚗

There were lots of great questions, helpful tips, and plenty of interest from everyone in attendance - proof that safety is always worth the conversation!

We had a gut-feeling this was going to be a great time… and we were right! 😄

Trent nursing students Alyssa and Gabriel brought the fun to Durham CPS with interactive trivia games all about safe eating and swallowing, healthy habits, and even the famous Bristol Stool Chart! 💡

Learning + laughter = a winning combo! 🎉

Big thanks to our Trent nurses for making it educational and engaging!

It's ALWAYS a fun day was in Pickering when Stacey from Durham's Community Participation Supports comes by! 🎨

Everyone was excited to try watercolours for the first time, while creating some very Irish-y paintings just in time for St. Patrick’s Day. ☘️
