Hello Everyone,

Independent Living Vernon will be hosting another session on RDSPs  in August.  For more information and who to contact for registration, please click here.

Just wanted to pass along this information from CLBC.  Check it out!

On June 30th, CLBC launched Canada’s first website dedicated to educating adults with developmental disabilities and their families on how to use the Internet safely. The website, <http://www.icanbesafeonline.com>, is a plain language visual resource
that provides tips, videos, stories, a quiz and a blog on Internet safety to the individuals CLBC supports. The website has a section specifically for families and people who work closely with the people we support so they can learn what risks may exist online, and what they can do to make sure that people using the Internet are being safe. We invite you to visit the site and share the link with anyone who may be
interested. A link for the site will also be available on the front page of the CLBC website.

The annual KRACL conference is in Nelson this year and is full of interesting educational and networking opportunities. Check out the brochure here and email Pat, Jackie or Brian if you’re interested in attending.

We’re here!
Everyone’s enjoying the sun at our Naramata retreat. Here’s Cam and Chris hanging out earlier today.
Hope everyone’s having a blast!

Just wanted to pass along some information on STEPS Forward : BC Initiative for Inclusive Post-Secondary Education.

From their Website:

Hi Everyone!

It’s that time of year again….longer days, springtime flowers,  plenty of sunshine and more time outdoors.

Just a reminder to stay “Sun Safe” while you’re out there in the fresh air!



Take a moment to check out this link.  Some information on why sun safety is so important.

Have Fun!

CLBC recently put on a workshop regarding RDSP’s.  A number of CCSS employees were in attendance and have shared some of the documentation with us. Click here to view the newsletter.   Click here to view a PDF version of  a power point presentation. Thanks Leola, Shannon, Susan and Ken for passing this information along.
