There was a wonderful turnout for the #YYC #IDPD event at City Hall today!

It was great to see many of our fellow #DisabilitySupport agencies hosting booths, the @renfreweducationalservices Choir provide attendees with a wonderful performance, @jyotigondek announce the #IDPD proclamation and connect with so many community members!

Thanks to all who attended, stopped by to say hi 👋 and for everyone who helped make the event a success!

🎉Just a reminder to keep the IDPD celebrating going because tomorrow, December 3rd, is officially international Day of Persons with Disabilities! 🎉

On this day in 1918 marked the ending of four year

On this day in 1918 marked the ending of four years of warfare. On this day each year, we take time to remember those who have fought for our country and were lost in the battles.
On this day, today, we wear poppies, we take a moment of silence at the 11th hour and we participate in events of recognition and honour throughout our communities.

Lest We Forget.

Here are some events occurring today in #YYC and #YEG for you to participate in:
