Thanks to funding support from Canadian Tire Jumpstart Foundation, we are very pleased to share that we will be starting a new Floor Hockey Program in the new year!  

Like Jumpstart, we understand the importance of sport for the health and well-being of kids and are proud of the work we do to provide sport and play for the community. Meghan Schritt, Program Manager will be sharing the details in early January so stay tuned for more information.  If you know someone who may like to volunteer Tori our Volunteer Coordinator can be reached at volunteer@edss.ca 

 


We are so pleased to share the presentation with you of Alana Gersky, self advocate and EDSS Ambassador.  She was invited to be the keynote speaker at the Norquest College International Day of People with Disability.

 You can watch the presentation here.


We are so proud of you Alana!
