Canadian Down Syndrome Society
Advocacy and education
The Canadian Down Syndrome Society aims to promote awareness and provide support for people with Down syndrome and their supporters across Canada. They do so primarily by providing information resources and hosting webinars and advocacy events, but they also offer personalized connection and referral to services in a person’s local area. Services offered directly by the society include the Mindsets Wellness Program for sports mentorship and the Inployable employment program.
