Welcome to our first quarterly newsletter! We are excited to share the news about our growing population and successful programing.
AIM began providing services in January, 2015. We were honored to welcome Premier, Brad Wall to our grand opening on January 8th, 2015 and pleased with his announcement of government funding. The Minister of Education, Don Morgan, Minister of Social Services, Donna Harpauer, the Mayor of Saskatoon, a number of MLA’s; families, and many other supporters also attended AIM’s grand opening celebration. The success of AIM is due to the generosity of both in-kind and financial support from government, community organizations, families and individuals.
A community program like AIM is
essential for individuals with Down syndrome but cannot be successful without forming partnerships and working collaboratively with parents, government, schools, and community organizations and businesses.
We are looking forward to continue to foster these partnerships in the coming year. The newsletter is meant to highlight the programming that staff has been busy putting into place, what is being planned for the fall and opportunities to be involved with the AIM Program. As executive director my plan for the fall is to take time to personally connect with families, partners, and community members by phone or in person. My door is always open and I encourage people to provide any feedback you may have.
As our mission states, we are here to serve and support our students and their families in their home and community lives. We are looking forwarding to working with all the families and community in the coming months.
