See you next weekend!

The Canadian Down Syndrome Society would like to express our gratitude to the Government of Alberta, Alberta Culture and Community Services, and Minister Healther Kilmchuk, for their generous support. Through their Community Spirit Program, the CDSS has received a grant of $19,812.63. This matching-grant will allow us to continue to provide vital information and education to Canadians about people with Down syndrome, as well as continue to support people within the Down syndrome community - families, medical professionals, employers, educators, and self-advocates.

The program is donor-driven, meaning it recognizes and encourages Albertans to support their favourite organizations. We are thankful to the many Albertans who have expressed their commitment to bettering the lives of Canadians with Down syndrome.

The Canadian Down Syndrome Society Board of Directors is reviewing a change to our Mission and Vision statements. The final version will be presented at the 2012 Annual General Meeting (Toronto, May 19, 2012). As part of our strategic planning policy, we have a process in place to review the current Mission and Vision statements regularly to ensure that they reflect the goals and activities of our society. Our goal is to have Mission and Vision statements that describe the very foundation of our society- what we do, for whom, and why. Please take this brief survey to share your voice and ideas as we move forward as an organization.
