March 21 is World Down Syndrome Day!
Today we celebrate the beauty of inclusion, love, and the incredible strength of individuals with Down syndrome.
This year’s theme, “Together Against Loneliness” calls on combating the social isolation and stigma that often affect people with Down syndrome, advocating for true inclusion in workplaces, schools, and communities.
Canadians with Down syndrome deserve the same access to basic rights and opportunities as everyone else. It’s time for action, not excuses.
At York Region CAS, we are committed to promoting diversity, inclusivity, and equity for all. We recognize the unique strengths and talents that individuals with Down syndrome bring to our society, and we stand with them as we work towards creating a more inclusive world for all.
Let’s keep learning, advocating, and celebrating differences because diversity makes our world stronger.
