October is Community Inclusion Month!

September 29, 2015

Every year in October we celebrate the gifts that people with developmental disabilities bring to our communities.  We used to call October “Community Living Month.” Last year in British Columbia, this was changed to “Community Inclusion Month” in order to highlight the importance of inclusion in schools, workplaces, and communities.

“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: “Claiming Full Citizenship”

Stay tuned this October for:

  • The annual SABF Community Inclusion Month Pizza Party
  • The annual BeConnected Community Inclusion Month Pancake Breakfast – this year in Duncan!
  • The annual BeCommunity Art Show and Sale at the Spiral Café
