October is Community Living Month!
October 3, 2017
Every year in October we celebrate the gifts that people with developmental disabilities bring to our communities and highlight the importance of inclusion in schools, workplaces, and communities. In celebration of this we call October “Community Inclusion Month”!
“Community Inclusion Month” not only welcomes all members of community to celebrate and bring awareness to the strengths and achievements of people with developmental disabilities, but it also challenges us to think of community as more than just a place where we live. It is where we all come together to work, learn and play.
The theme of this year’s Community Inclusion Month is: “Everyone belongs in BC schools”
