Our hearts are broken and filled with sadness for the loss of our friend, mentor and visionary volunteer leader of EDSS. Rosalind Mosychuk passed away on February 3.  Rosalind meant so much to so many who have been involved in EDSS over the years and in particular, Rosalind was the visionary and producer of our major special event Uniquely Me.  Rosalind was a mentor to all those who were touched by her life and she will forever be regarded as a leader, advocate and amazing woman of vision.  We will miss you, Rosalind.

Reminders

We launched the 5x5x5 Campaign 3 weeks ago and we want to share our progress.  So far we have raised $300 which will be matched by the Government of Alberta up to a maximum of $5,000.  Help us #endthestereotypes and encourage more people to learn about our Ds community. Please share this link Why I Care #EndtheStereotypes World Down Syndrome Day by Edmonton Down Syndrome Society with your work network, family and friends to share the love!

30th Anniversary 

We would love to feature your family!

This year marks the 30th Anniversary for EDSS and our board of directors is working on some exciting plans to mark the year with some special occasions.

 I would like to invite you to think about your involvement in EDSS and what that means to you and your family.  You may be a new family or supporter of EDSS, or you may be one of the families who have been with us now for up to 30 years.

 Whatever your journey has been, I would like to invite you to share with me a bit about your experiences – sharing your favorite memories and your family photos – both “then” and “now”.  Let’s look back at how we started as we plan the future forward for you and all our Ds community.  

Please share these memories and photos with me at guest@edss.ca by March 31st.
