✨Sponsor Spotlight ✨
We’re thrilled to celebrate the incredible support behind our Elmwood Fall Feast, presented by Affinity Credit Union! 🍂

Today, we’re shining a light on one of our Champion in Community Inclusion sponsors: DCG Philanthropic Services. 💖

Their generous support helps make this event possible and directly impacts those we serve with intellectual disabilities! 🫶

Thank you, DCG Philanthropic Services, for your commitment to breaking down barriers and fuelling community inclusion! ✨

Say hello to our VIP for the month of September, Clara V.! 👋

Clara has been a cherished part of our Elmwood family since 2011 and proudly calls 2901 her home. Known for her friendly (and often feisty!) personality, she is truly one of a kind. 💖

She shares a special bond with the house cat, Mittens, who often chooses her room to curl up in at night. Clara makes sure Mittens is always pampered with food, water, and plenty of love. 🐱

Independent and hardworking, Clara never misses a day at Cosmo and is always ready to pitch in around the house. ✨

Want to make Clara smile? Tim Horton’s coffee and a donut will do the trick! She loves sharing treats and talking with friends, especially about her fond memories of growing up on the farm. Clara is a farm girl at heart, and those roots run deep. ☕🍩

Elmwood is lucky to have you, Clara! 🫶

Last week, our Resident Supports team traveled to Regina to attend the Shaping Inclusive Communities Conference, hosted by SaskAbilities in celebration of their 75th Anniversary! 🎉

The event featured keynote speakers Temple Grandin and Madison Tevlin, and offered a variety of insightful panels focused on topics like housing and financial supports and empowering inclusive communities. It was an incredible opportunity for learning, connection, and growth! ✨

While in the area, the team also visited several organizations in Moose Jaw and Regina, including the Edie Montgrand Rehab Center, Moose Jaw Families for Change Inc / Kinsmen Cafe, Chip and Dale Homes Inc. and the Cosmopolitan Learning Centre. 💖

We’re always grateful for the chance to connect with other agencies, exchange ideas, and learn more about their impactful programming and service delivery. 🫶

All in all, it was a busy and rewarding trip! 🛣

It’s Start With Hello Week at SARC Saskatchewan, and we’re celebrating inclusion in our community! 🎉

We’re deeply grateful for the local businesses who go the extra mile to make everyone feel welcome - like our friends at Hunters Bowling Centres Eastview Bowl! Elmwood residents are proud regulars at the lanes, whether through Special Olympics Saskatoon bowling or our own Wheelchair Bowling program. 🎳

That’s why we were so excited when Hunter’s renovated their Eastview location last year to be fully accessible. By removing steps and lips, adding accessible seating, and introducing movable tables, they’ve created a space where everyone can bowl with confidence and independence, boosting inclusion in the community! ✨

While these renovations are a huge step forward (and we’re so appreciative!), community inclusion happens in many ways, on many scales, big or small! 💖

Remember, Community Inclusion Starts with Hello! 👋🏻

Another month, another goal reached! ✨

This time, we’re celebrating Melissa, who fulfilled her dream of visiting the Butterfly House at the Forestry Farm back in June. 🦋

Melissa absolutely loves butterflies, so she had an amazing time watching them flutter around the vibrant flowers. One even landed on her, and judging by that smile, it was a moment she’ll never forget! 💖

Great job spreading your wings and soaring towards your goal, Melissa! 🎉

Summer at Elmwood wouldn’t be the same without the magic of the Saskatoon EX and Saskatoon Folkfest! ☀

The Saskatoon Exhibition is always a highlight! From thrilling games and tasty fair treats to jamming to the music at the Grandstand, residents embraced every moment. It’s one of the most exciting (and busiest!) weeks for our Community Inclusion and Recreation teams - and the smiles say it all. 🎡🎪

Folkfest was also a hit, as always! Residents explored the pavilions, savored global cuisines, and celebrated the rich cultural diversity that makes Saskatoon shine! 🌍🎉

As we look ahead to fall, we’re filled with gratitude for the incredible organizations that make our summer programming possible: the City of Saskatoon - Your Local Government – Sask Lotteries Community Grant Program, the Saskatoon Community Foundation Quality of Life Grant and the Riverside Vipond Golf Classic! ✨

From the Elmwood Family Luau to the Slip 'n' Slide to days at the Ex and Folkfest, your support creates unforgettable memories and fosters meaningful inclusion for individuals with intellectual disabilities. Thank you for helping us build a more inclusive community - one summer festivity at a time! 💖

We’re thrilled to welcome two new members to our Board of Directors! 🎉

Fall is just around the corner - and so is the Elmwood Fall Feast, presented by Affinity Credit Union! 🍂

Join us on October 28, 2025, at WTC Saskatoon at Prairieland for an unforgettable evening featuring a delicious meal, live entertainment, and inspiring speakers, all in support of accessible transportation for those we serve with intellectual disabilities. ✨

For many in our community, getting to work, appointments, or events isn’t just difficult — it’s impossible without safe, reliable, and accessible vehicles. Elmwood receives no capital funding for accessible vehicles, so we rely on the generosity of donors and supporters like you to make meaningful inclusion possible. 💖

By attending, sponsoring, or donating to the Fall Feast, you’re helping us drive change - literally! 🚐
