The Beauty of Belonging is BEING our most authentic real self, and celebrating those who are there to celebrate with us. There is ZERO Journey To... it is all simply BEING as we each are... already! All Ready?! Yes... already!

Non of us caregivers/parents need to force our kids to "Fit in!" Their uniqueness IS their giftedness.

It's officially Community Living Month across Ontario, and KACL would like to invite the entirety of Kenora to help us celebrate!

Each May, Community Living Ontario runs an awareness campaign to recognize the accomplishments of the Community Living movement, and in honour of that - and in addition to our Shine a Light campaign that's already underway - we are pleased to offer three special community invents for everyone to join us at.

On Wednesday, May 20th at the Community Arts Hub, starting at 5:30 p.m., we will be welcoming musician Alex Call - the man responsible for the hit song 867-5309 - for a special evening of concert, connection, conversation, and community. Snacks and refreshments will be provided.

On Wednesday, May 27th at the Jarnel Contracting Pavilion, starting at 12 noon, we will be hosting a Community Living walk at the Harbourfront, all the way to Husky the Muskie and back. If you can make it out to show your support, please wear green and blue, the colours of Community Living Month! Everyone who is able to join us will also be treated to a free meal.

Last but not least, on Saturday, May 30th at the Moncrief Construction Sports Centre ball diamonds, we will be hosting the first ever Kenora's Field of Dreams event, which will be a once in a lifetime kind of ball game featuring the likes of Andrew Poirier, Eric Melillo, Abby Dent, and CFL Grey Cup Champion Mike Benson (and a whole bunch of other very special guests). For more information on this event, please check out the event page found elsewhere on our Facebook for more information.

We are so, so, SO excited to celebrate Community Living Month with the rest of Kenora, so please join us and help us make this May one for the ages!
