Arcane Horizon Community

Arcane Horizon Community Community supports that focus on quality of life for adults with intellectual disabilities

Arcane Horizon was founded based on the Gentle Teaching Principles in July 1995 to support two men in their own home within the community. Since the agency's inception we have expanded to support over 50 individuals using four distinct supported living models: Residential Living, Supported Independent Living & Fostering and Proctoring. Arcane also provides individualized day support services as required for individuals in all our supported living programs. A volunteer Board of Directors governs the agency working with the Executive Director who, along with a team of dedicated Management and direct service staff, is responsible for the day to day operations of the agency. Arcane has built a reputation recognizing people as capable individuals, and being able to effectively develop support plans that fulfill their needs.

🌍 Wide World Wednesday

We See You, We Celebrate You, We Stand With You.

Today we’re highlighting Manitoba Possible, an organization making a real difference across our province. With offices in Winnipeg, Brandon, Dauphin, Morden, Selkirk, Steinbach, and Thompson, Manitoba Possible extends its reach to northern and rural Manitoba through programs like Vocational Rehabilitation in the North and Northern Employment Services.

Their work helps adults with disabilities access meaningful employment, develop independence, and receive the support they need to thrive — not just in urban centres, but in many smaller communities too.

At the same time, we recognize there is still a long way to go. Too many communities — especially in northern and remote areas — remain underserved. The vision we share is a Manitoba where quality, accessible support is available to every individual, in every town, every community, across the entire province.

Today we celebrate Manitoba Possible’s important contributions, while standing with all Manitobans in calling for continued growth, equity, and progress.

🌍 Mercredi du vaste monde

Nous vous voyons, nous vous célébrons, nous sommes à vos cÎtés.

Aujourd’hui, nous mettons en lumiĂšre Manitoba Possible, un organisme qui fait une rĂ©elle diffĂ©rence partout dans notre province. Avec des bureaux Ă  Winnipeg, Brandon, Dauphin, Morden, Selkirk, Steinbach et Thompson, Manitoba Possible rejoint le nord et les rĂ©gions rurales du Manitoba grĂące Ă  des programmes tels que RĂ©adaptation professionnelle dans le Nord et Services d’emploi dans le Nord.

Leur travail aide les adultes vivant avec un handicap Ă  accĂ©der Ă  un emploi significatif, Ă  dĂ©velopper leur autonomie et Ă  recevoir le soutien nĂ©cessaire pour s’épanouir — non seulement dans les grands centres urbains, mais aussi dans plusieurs plus petites collectivitĂ©s.

En mĂȘme temps, nous reconnaissons qu’il reste encore beaucoup Ă  faire. Trop de collectivitĂ©s — surtout dans le nord et les rĂ©gions Ă©loignĂ©es — demeurent mal desservies. Notre vision est celle d’un Manitoba oĂč des services de qualitĂ©, accessibles et Ă©quitables sont offerts Ă  chaque personne, dans chaque ville et chaque collectivitĂ© de la province.

Aujourd’hui, nous cĂ©lĂ©brons les importantes contributions de Manitoba Possible, tout en affirmant notre solidaritĂ© avec tous les Manitobains pour rĂ©clamer une croissance continue, plus d’équitĂ© et de progrĂšs.

🌟 Breaking Barriers in the Workplace 🌟

We are excited to share that as of May 29, 2025, the CAN/ASC-1.1:2024 (REV-2025) – Employment Standard has been revised under the Accessible Canada Act. This updated standard helps make work accessible, inclusive, and empowering for all workers—including adults with intellectual or developmental disabilities.

Here’s what’s new:
- A strong Culture, Engagement & Education framework: inclusive communication, leadership accountability, and mandatory training to build respectful, disability-confident workplaces.
- Improved Accessibility Support Systems: accommodations that respond to individual needs, not just generic solutions.
- Barrier-free pathways throughout the entire employment journey—from recruitment and onboarding, to growth, retention, performance, and even job transitions.
- Helpful annexes with real stories, background, and practical guides for putting these changes into action.

Though the standard is currently voluntary, it represents a powerful direction for what accessible employment should look like—and sets clear expectations.

At Arcane Horizon, we believe in Powered by People. We know that when people of all abilities are included fully, workplaces become stronger, culture gets richer, talent gets wider, and everyone benefits.

🔍 What you can do / How you can help
- If you or your team are in an organization, ask: “Where might barriers still exist for people with intellectual disabilities?”
- Support or advocate for training around disability, accessibility, and inclusion.
- Share this post—let’s raise awareness and make accessible workplaces the norm.

📣 Supporting policy changes like this doesn’t just change laws—it changes lives.

[Mission lundi / Mission en mouvement – PropulsĂ© par les gens]

🌟 Briser les obstacles en milieu de travail 🌟

Nous sommes heureux de vous annoncer que depuis le 29 mai 2025, la norme CAN/ASC-1.1:2024 (REV-2025) – Emploi, dans le cadre de la Loi canadienne sur l’accessibilitĂ©, a Ă©tĂ© rĂ©visĂ©e. Cette norme mise Ă  jour vise Ă  rendre le travail accessible, inclusif et valorisant pour tous les travailleurs — y compris les adultes ayant une dĂ©ficience intellectuelle ou dĂ©veloppementale.

Voici les nouveautés :
- Un cadre solide pour la culture, la mobilisation & la formation : communication inclusive, responsabilité des dirigeants, et formations obligatoires pour bùtir un milieu de travail respectueux, conscient des enjeux du handicap.
- Des systĂšmes de soutien Ă  l’accessibilitĂ© renforcĂ©s : des accommodements adaptĂ©s aux besoins individuels, pas des solutions gĂ©nĂ©riques.
- Des parcours sans obstacles Ă  chaque Ă©tape de l’emploi : recrutement, intĂ©gration, dĂ©veloppement professionnel, maintien en poste, performance, et mĂȘme transitions de poste.
- Des annexes utiles avec des tĂ©moignages rĂ©els, du contexte, et des guides pratiques pour mettre ces changements en Ɠuvre.

Bien que la norme soit actuellement volontaire, elle trace une direction forte de ce à quoi devrait ressembler un emploi accessible — et fixe des attentes claires.

Chez Arcane Horizon, nous croyons en PropulsĂ© par les gens. Nous savons que lorsque les personnes de toutes capacitĂ©s sont intĂ©grĂ©es pleinement, les milieux de travail s’enrichissent, la culture s’approfondit, le talent s’élargit, et tout le monde y gagne.

🔍 Ce que vous pouvez faire / Comment aider
- Si vous faites partie d’une organisation : demandez-vous « oĂč des obstacles persistent pour les personnes ayant une dĂ©ficience intellectuelle ? »
- Soutenez ou dĂ©fendez la formation sur le handicap, l’accessibilitĂ© et l’inclusion.
- Partagez ce message — faisons de l’accessibilitĂ© en milieu de travail une norme.

📣 Soutenir des changements de politique comme celui-ci ne transforme pas que des lois — cela transforme des vies.

👉 To secure your tickets, reach out to Leilanie at lsarmiento@arcanehorizon.org today.

This week, we want to shine a light on some truly remarkable people making this year’s celebration so special:

✹ RenĂ©e McGurry — a valued member of our event committee and one of this year’s featured speakers. RenĂ©e’s voice and leadership are a gift to our community, and we are honoured to have her share her passion with us at this milestone event.

✹ Ron D’Errico and The Impact Security Group — When we talk about community champions, Ron and his team are exactly who we mean. Their company protects and supports so many local organizations and events, and they bring that same spirit of generosity to Arcane Horizon. This year, Impact Security has stepped forward with extraordinary gifts for our anniversary luncheon:
🏈 Tickets to the 2026 Banjo Bowl
🏒 Winnipeg Jets tickets for the upcoming season
🏆 2 tickets to the Grey Cup at Princess Auto Stadium!

Ron believes in building safer, stronger communities — and that vision aligns perfectly with our own mission of inclusion and opportunity. By donating these incredible experiences, Impact Security isn’t just giving prizes; they’re opening doors for our members and supporters to be part of some of the biggest moments in Manitoba sports.

It’s this kind of partnership — where local business leaders use their success to lift others up — that makes our work possible and keeps our community thriving.

Wide World Wednesday

This week’s shines on a shining star in our province, Manitoba Possible - an inclusive & accessible society.

We are proud to stand with them as they lead the way in creating an inclusive, accessible Manitoba. From employment preparation and wheelchair access to newcomer support, accessible recreation, financial empowerment, and so much more, they break down barriers and elevate possibilities for adults with disabilities across the province.

As supporters of theirs in the work they do and as supporters of this amazing community, we see the impact of their 15 program areas delivered across Winnipeg and seven regional offices—bringing hope, access, and opportunity to communities from Brandon to Thompson.

Together, we celebrate Manitoba Possible's leadership in empowering adults living with disabilities.

We see you, we celebrate you, we stand with you.

Ce , nous mettons en lumiùre un joyau de notre province—Manitoba Possible.

Nous sommes fiers de soutenir leur action, qui ouvre la voie Ă  une sociĂ©tĂ© inclusive et accessible. Des prĂ©parations Ă  l’emploi au soutien aux nouveaux arrivants, en passant par l’accĂšs aux fauteuils roulants, les loisirs accessibles et l’autonomisation financiĂšre—ils dĂ©construisent les obstacles et Ă©largissent les possibles pour les adultes vivant avec un handicap Ă  travers la province.

En tant que partenaires, nous constatons l'impact concret de leurs 15 volets de programmes offerts Ă  Winnipeg et dans sept bureaux rĂ©gionaux—apportant espoir, accĂšs et opportunitĂ©s de Brandon Ă  Thompson.

Ensemble, nous cĂ©lĂ©brons le leadership de Manitoba Possible dans l’autonomisation des adultes vivant avec un handicap. Nous vous voyons, nous vous cĂ©lĂ©brons, nous sommes Ă  vos cĂŽtĂ©s.

Wide World Wednesday Spotlight: WASO Manitoba ! www.waso.ca

Today we want to give a standing ovation to WASO (Work and Social Opportunities)—a true Winnipeg gem. Since 1981, they’ve been transforming lives through vocational support, social innovation, and real-world employment opportunities for adults with intellectual disabilities.

From six neighbourhood hubs to programs like Diversity Works, they’re not just offering activities—they’re crafting pathways to independence. Their Employment Services include job-prep, mentoring (hello, MentorAbility!), and on-the-job support with real pay and dignity.

If inclusion, empowerment, and meaningful work are your jam, then get behind WASO. Folks—join us in celebrating this powerhouse for making Winnipeg stronger, smarter, and more inclusive.

En ce Wide World Wednesday : Coup de projecteur sur WASO Winnipeg ! www.waso.ca
Aujourd’hui, mettons en lumiĂšre WASO (Work and Social Opportunities)—une vĂ©ritable perle de Winnipeg. Depuis 1981, cette organisation transforme des vies en offrant soutien professionnel, innovation sociale et opportunitĂ©s d’emploi concrĂštes aux adultes ayant une dĂ©ficience intellectuelle.

Avec six centres de quartiers et des programmes comme Diversity Works, ils ne proposent pas seulement des activitĂ©s—ils crĂ©ent des trajectoires vers l’autonomie. Leurs Services d’Emploi incluent prĂ©paration Ă  l’emploi, mentorat (MentorAbility !), et accompagnement en emploi, avec salaire rĂ©el et respect.

Si vous croyez en l’inclusion, l’autonomisation et un travail significatif, rejoignez-nous pour cĂ©lĂ©brer cette force vive qui rend Winnipeg plus fort, plus Ă©clairĂ© et plus inclusif.

✹ Team Tuesday: Celebrating Our Board of Directors ✹

From the frontlines to behind the scenes, it takes many people to keep Arcane Horizon strong — and today, we shine the spotlight on our Board of Directors.

Our board has been with us since our inception in 1995, and now, as we celebrate 30 years, they continue to guide us into the future with vision and dedication. They are the heart of our governance, ensuring Arcane Horizon stays modern, responsive, and impactful for the community we serve.

The workload is often heavy. For example, with our AGM on Monday, September 22nd, the board will meet four times in less than two months — twice in August, once in September, and again for the AGM. That’s commitment.

This year, our board has reviewed our strategic plan and operations, expanded both our Board and Executive staff, updated our Articles of Incorporation, and modernized our bylaws. Their leadership has set us on a strong course for the future.

On this Team Tuesday, we say with gratitude and pride:
💙 Thank you to our Board of Directors (Candace, Christine, Ruth, Ovunda, Aparna, Donna, Grace and Marie) for being the difference, for working together, and for leading with heart.

Mission in Motion, Powered by People.

✹ Mardi en Équipe : CĂ©lĂ©brons notre Conseil d’Administration ✹

Des premiùres lignes aux coulisses, il faut de nombreuses personnes pour garder Arcane Horizon solide — et aujourd’hui, nous mettons en lumiùre notre Conseil d’Administration.

Notre conseil existe depuis la fondation de l’organisme en 1995, et alors que nous cĂ©lĂ©brons nos 30 ans, il continue de nous guider vers l’avenir avec vision et dĂ©vouement. Il est le cƓur de notre gouvernance, veillant Ă  ce qu’Arcane Horizon demeure moderne, rĂ©actif et essentiel pour la communautĂ© que nous servons.

La charge de travail est souvent lourde. Par exemple, avec notre AGA le lundi 22 septembre, le conseil se rĂ©unira quatre fois en moins de deux mois — deux fois en aoĂ»t, une fois en septembre, et encore Ă  l’AGA. VoilĂ  de l’engagement.

Cette annĂ©e, notre conseil a examinĂ© notre plan stratĂ©gique et nos opĂ©rations, Ă©largi notre Conseil et notre Ă©quipe de direction, mis Ă  jour nos statuts constitutifs, et modernisĂ© nos rĂšglements administratifs. Leur leadership nous a placĂ©s sur une voie solide pour l’avenir.

En ce Mardi en Équipe, nous disons avec gratitude et fiertĂ© :
💙 Merci Ă  notre Conseil d’Administration (Candace, Christine, Ruth, Ovunda, Aparna, Donna, Grace and Marie) d’ĂȘtre la diffĂ©rence, de travailler ensemble et de diriger avec cƓur.
