In the April  2021 Walk for Cancer, we walk for Grandmothers, Grandfathers, Mothers, Fathers, Brothers and Sisters.

We walk for Friends and Family alike.

We walk for everyone affected by cancer.

This are some moments from our wonderful May weekend.

OK Team CLRCS … get your walking shoes on and laced up … May 1st we start to track our Km’s and make our way across Canada.

We are starting in Prince Rupert on the Trans-Canada highway.

Remember this is a team challenge, we are all in this together, every Km counts.

Let’s do this!

The Tree of Flowers Project is something we would like everyone to help us with in preparation for Community Living month in May.

We are going to be putting this on display in our front window at CAS for all of the town to enjoy for the month of May. So, in April, we create them and in May we display them.

The Tree of Flowers represents that we are all unique and beautiful like flowers. No matter our differences, we all live and thrive off the same tree and roots. Although not perfect, when we come together, we are beautiful.

We want to remind everyone of this as Spring arrives that we can all be better If we do it together. No one should be alone especially in these difficult times. So, please help us come together and show how our unique differences when combined and alone are beautiful.

Another successful Artshine Workshop with beautiful results!!!!!

Share the Appreciation!

“The Appreciation Station has taken off at our CAS program.

We believe that respect, appreciation and positivity can pave the way for a great working environment.

Have you told anyone today what you appreciate about them?

Let’s continue to shine that light for others.”
