Sunbeam News

When I first joined Sunbeam, it did not take long to get to know the people we support and the colleagues around me, and before I knew it the place felt like somewhere I belonged.

This month, we’re excited to shine the spotlight on Simona, one of our incredible Direct Support Professionals at Sunbeam.

At Sunbeam Community & Developmental Services, we are proud to honour our Direct Support Professionals during DSP Week.

August was another fantastic month for the Recreation and Wellness program. We had a great outing to Shade’s Mill Conservation Area, Karaoke night, and much more.

September 9th is FASD Awareness Month. First celebrated in 1999, FASD day is devoted to raising awareness of fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD).

Matthew has called Sunbeam home since 2017 and moved to a new neighbourhood that he enjoys very much. He likes connecting with others through eye contact, high fives, and friendly head nods.

We hope you have a great Labour Day long weekend. Enjoy the summer weather and hope you can spend time with your loved ones. Our offices are closed September 7th.

Sunbeam celebrated our 5th Annual Kid’s Day on Saturday August 29th. This fun filled event has quickly become an annual tradition, eagerly anticipated by children and families alike.

At Sunbeam Community & Developmental Services, we honour the individuals and families living with FASD. This lifelong disability results from prenatal alcohol exposure and can affect learning, behaviour, and daily living.
