We held our very first Walk & Run Festival, Shine in Motion! ✨🏃‍♀️

We headed to Swangard Stadium for a day filled with movement, games, and a little friendly competition. From walking and jogging around the track, to relay races and scavenger hunts, there was something for everyone to enjoy.

It was so much fun bringing our Vancouver and Burnaby programs together for a day of movement and connection. Lots of laughs, lots of cheering and definitely some core memories made. 💖

Here’s to the first of many Shine in Motion days! 🙌🏼🏆💫

Proud, peaceful, stress-free, excited, happy, creative… these are some of the words our members used when we asked how Art Therapy makes them feel.

And when they can’t always put their feelings into words, they can show us through their art. 🧑‍🎨

We’re so grateful to Unity for Autism Canada for making Art Therapy possible for autistic and neurodivergent adults at PASS. Your support gives our members a space to express themselves, explore their creativity, and enjoy the many benefits of making art.

ORDER SQUAD DAY!

Our members have spent the last couple of weeks preparing for a very special Friday project: making and delivering lunch for our wonderful PASS staff…for a small fee of course! 😉

They helped plan the menu, purchase the ingredients, took orders, collected payments, prepared and cooked the food, packaged each individual order, and served everyone their lunch.

It was a great opportunity to work together as a team and create a little Friday joy for our staff! Enjoy our Vlog 🙌🏼💛

Every monthly gift creates opportunities for neurodivergent adults to thrive. ✨

We're welcoming more members into PASS Daily than ever before, and we need your steady, sustaining support to keep our high-quality, individualized programming going and growing.

What your monthly gift can make possible:

🧂 $5/month helps replenish program supplies.
Ingredients for a cooking class, paint for an art project, or bus fare for a community outing - there are so many small but important items required to run our program each month.

💼 $30/month purchases one Vocational Box.
This is a task box that helps members develop job-readiness skills. As members master a task, they’re ready for a new challenge, so we regularly add new boxes that allow them to build on their skills.

🎨 $100/month provides one hour of Art Therapy.
Led by a registered art therapist, this program gives members a safe, creative outlet to communicate, process emotions, and build confidence.

🦋 Set up your monthly gift today, and we’ll send you a special keepsake designed by a PASS member: https://www.passadultservices.ca/monthly-giving

Community Quest Club is all about empowering members to actively and safely engage in their communities. 🧭🗺️

Members explore local parks, cafes, landmarks, museums, and more. It’s a great chance to practice using Google Maps to navigate through their community and find new locations.

Earlier this summer, everyone made their own mini passports. At the end of each outing, they receive a ticket to collect in their booklet!

This is Thomas, one of the most hard-working, curious, and friendly men you’ll ever meet. There aren’t enough days in the week to accommodate all the jobs Thomas wants to do (even chopping onions!!!), and we just love his go-getter attitude and positive personality!

You can be the dream employer he has been waiting for. Learn more about how to partner with PASS to provide inclusive employment opportunities: https://www.passadultservices.ca/blog/employment-program

Monthly donors provide the steady, reliable support that makes everything we do at PASS possible. 💜

As demand for our programs continues to grow, monthly giving helps us welcome more neurodivergent adults while preserving everything that makes PASS so special.

🦋 To celebrate our monthly donors, PASS member and digital artist Casey designed a beautiful butterfly-themed magnet as our thank-you gift. We'd love to send you one!

Casey has flourished through our individualized, inclusive programs. Your monthly gift will help more people like her discover their passions, develop their talents, and find meaningful opportunities to thrive.

Setting up your monthly donation is simple - choose an amount that’s right for you, and your gift will automatically make a difference every month. It’s the easiest, most effective way to support PASS.

Your monthly gift creates meaningful opportunities for neurodivergent adults and peace of mind for their families.

A big thank you to the wonderful team at the Old Spaghetti Factory in New Westminster for the warm hospitality! ❤️🍝

It was a lovely way to kick off our well-deserved summer break. Good food, great company and plenty of laughs—just the way we like it. Wherever we go, good times are guaranteed. See you in a few weeks!

Thank you to Music Heals Canada for their continuous support of our Music Therapy program. 🎶 Music Therapy at PASS creates opportunities for neurodivergent adults to build confidence, express themselves creatively, and grow at their own pace.

Our Music Therapist recently shared Dada's story, which illustrates this impact:

Dada often begins Music Therapy sessions by observing, taking time to settle before engaging. With consistent support from Music Heals, he is able to participate at his own pace, building trust, routine, and a sense of safety over time.
