November round-up:
- During this month, we made few trips to New Liverpool elementary school for a spaceship making in K, a bracelet making workshop in grade 4, distribution of cards to the students to support the Quebec City Christmas Hamper Campaign (in all classrooms). We (some students from grade 5, the school's psychoeducator and Moumy) made a beautiful snowman to visualize the amount of donations the school will be receiving and lastly, on November 28th, we participated at their Governing Board meeting. Our Community Engagment & Outreach Manager is a South Shore Representative.
- On November 10th, we held our second Game Night of the season and it was such a success! It was great seeing some new faces as well.
- We had a chance to see our precious Blooming Bunnies twice this month and enjoyed reading and making crafts about Fall season and a Snowman. We're lucky to have a volunteer read a story to the kids and they enjoyed it thouroughly!
- We had a great session of Creativity Corner this month as well. Participants were challenged to explore the world of cross-stitching and did super well.
- The Book Club members met on the 28th and had a great evening together. We wish a safe trip to the members who are travelling over the holidays.

International Day of Persons with Disabilities
“More than 6.2 million Canadians have a disability – and many have disabilities that are not visible. Persons with disabilities face discrimination, incur many additional expenses, and often encounter barriers to finding meaningful and well-paid work. We recognize that disabilities are diverse in nature – whether physical, sensory, cognitive, or mental health-related – and there is no one-size-fits-all solution. But whatever a person’s needs may be, the Government of Canada is committed to making our country more accessible and more inclusive for everyone."

An Important Resource for Parents
"You might be feeling as though you have lost control: control over yourself, control over your young person and control over your options in terms of what you can do to help them. You may feel a loss of the parent you once were and the relationship you had with your young person, of what you had hoped to be as a parent and what you had hoped for your young person. You might feel embarrassed to reach out to others. Please do not let that prevent you from getting the help you need."
This handbook is written for parents dealing with a kid with substance use disorder to let them know that they are not alone.
