Did it know when things had started up when they did as they were not listed in the newsletter. ]]> 2022-07-01 22:19:35 UTC https://padlet.com/sdewhurs/50le0dwnkdv39pjr/wish/2235330106 https://padlet.com/sdewhurs/50le0dwnkdv39pjr/wish/2237794752 Can you see our swim get togethers growing into a swim club like Calgary has with Calgary Down Syndrome Dolphins Swim Club? If you google this, you will see the wide age group of swimmers having so much fun. If you can dream it, it can happen.]]> 2022-07-06 04:22:54 UTC https://padlet.com/sdewhurs/50le0dwnkdv39pjr/wish/2237794752 https://padlet.com/sdewhurs/50le0dwnkdv39pjr/wish/2237797961 How about a cafe which is run by teens and adults with Down Syndrome? Supported on site by parent volunteers? We could start small with a cafe bar out of our Down Syndrome kitchen once a week, say for 2 to 3 hours. Serving hot drinks only? Serving cold drinks only? Serving both?

There are many families living on the outskirts of Edmonton who would love connection and programming but just say it is too far to drive to the EDSS office for everything.]]> 2022-07-25 14:32:38 UTC https://padlet.com/sdewhurs/50le0dwnkdv39pjr/wish/2249330143
