Ripple Effect IV - A Family Leadership Weekend Retreat
Over the past 50 years, families have built momentum and created a ripple effect for a tidal wave of positive change in the Community Living movement by advocating for a better life for their children. From promoting more inclusive schools, to ensuring more appropriate and responsive services, to building more welcoming communities, families have been at the forefront of community change and action.
In order to continue to secure a bright future for their children, the BC Association for Community Living would like to provide a unique opportunity for families to come together to continue to build their strengths, nourish their passions, and expand their knowledge. Click here to view the flyer. Family members from Vernon, Penticton, Kelowna, and the Okanagan area are encouraged to apply! The deadline for applications is Friday, January 16, 2009.
