This presentation is a MUST!

📢 Presentation Announcement!
🗓 Monday, June 29
🕡 6:30 PM

Join us for a FREE virtual presentation hosted by Dr. Melanie Noel, Clinical Psychologist and Professor, and Dr. Nicole George, Post-doctoral Fellow, both from the University of Calgary.

Medical and dental procedures can be challenging experiences for autistic children and for the caregivers who support them. These moments can become overwhelming and even traumatic. And we also know there are effective strategies we can use to make it better in the future!

This session will share what we are learning from research and practical strategies you can use right away that can make a meaningful difference.

We will include opportunities to share your lived experiences, ask questions, and identify what matters most to you moving forward.

Red Dress Day 2026

Held every May 5, Red Dress Day honours Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and Two-Spirited People (MMIWG2S+). Inspired by the REDress Project by Métis artist Jaime Black (2010), people across Canada hang red dresses, wear red, attend rallies, and gather in ceremony to remember loved ones and demand justice.
