KSCI will be at the Pride Open House on June 12 from 3:00-6:00 PM at Riverside Park, and we would love to see you there.

Stop by our table to say hello, connect with us, and take part in a few fun activities. We will be sharing information about KSCI, talking about inclusion, and inviting people to join in some light myth-busting about disability, belonging, and community.

There will be food trucks, drag performers and 22 other vendors to visit!

The Pride Open House is a great opportunity to celebrate connection, visibility, and the importance of creating communities where everyone feels welcome, valued, and free to be themselves.

Come visit us, bring a friend, and enjoy an afternoon in the park.

We hope to see you there!

Last night Tanya and Melody attended the Kamloops & District Chamber of Commerce Social and spent the evening at the stunning Y Dream Home talking about something we care deeply about… inclusion.

They had some really great conversations about inclusive hiring, opportunities to get involved with KSCI through our Board of Directors, and of course…opportunities to get involved in the upcoming Amazing Race to Inclusion!

One of the best parts of events like this is connecting with people who are curious, open, and wanting to build a more welcoming community together. Those small conversations matter.

And as a fun bonus…they both walked away with door prizes too!

Thank you to everyone who stopped to chat. We always appreciate the opportunity to share a little more about the work happening at KSCI and the importance of inclusion in our community.

Check out this spotlight on Krystian Shaw and the The Kamloops Self Advocate Newsletter, “Putting Kamloops on the Map”.

This is such a great reminder that our actions can either build others up or knock people down.

Be a builder!

Because of you, we have some amazing stories to tell about our children, youth, adults and their families and how they’ve championed.

We are gexcited to share that KSCI received a $1,000 Community Grant from the Colombo Lodge.

Gifts like this are a meaningful reminder that inclusion is something we build together. When community organizations choose to invest in local work, they help create more opportunities for people with disabilities to be connected, visible, supported, and valued in the places they call home.

Thank you to Colombo Lodge for your generosity and for being part of a community that believes everyone has something to contribute.

We are grateful for your support.
