Province Proclaims National Down Syndrome Awareness Week

Released on November 2, 2015

Social Services Minister Donna Harpauer proclaimed the week of November 1-7 as Down Syndrome Awareness Week in Saskatchewan.  The week is being celebrated across Canada in recognition of the contributions people with Down syndrome make in our communities.

“Through our disability strategy we want to make Saskatchewan more welcoming, responsive, accessible, and inclusive for people experiencing disability,” Harpauer said.  “That is why our government is proud to recognize National Down Syndrome Awareness Week in Saskatchewan.  Recognizing this week is just one of the ways we can all work together to make this goal a reality.”

The Saskatchewan Down Syndrome Society (SDSS) works toward the full and total inclusion of people with Down syndrome.  The organization provides education, advocacy and supports to parents, students and professionals.  SDSS believes that Saskatchewan has the resources, teachers, aids and service providers necessary to meet the needs of all individuals, students and families and help transition Saskatchewan to a fully inclusive province.

“National Down Syndrome Awareness Week is an opportunity for everyone to recognize the diverse contributions of Canadians with Down syndrome,” SDSS Executive Director Miranda Klinger said.  “SDSS encourages the people of Saskatchewan to use this week to learn more about Down syndrome and help us advocate so that all people are valued and fully participating citizens.”
