We want to give a huge shout out to Nolan's Crew, who held their own satellite Walk With Us in Holland, MB with support from our Local Champions Fund!

Through collecting donations, selling 50/50 tickets, and hosting a bbq, they raised over $5,000 and helped us reach our goal πŸŽ‰πŸ‘

We're so grateful for our community, near and far πŸ’™πŸ’›

πŸ’› Social Club is in full swing β€” and what a season it's already been!

We are three events in and loving every minute. Watching our participants connect, laugh, and just enjoy being together is everything. πŸŽ‰

We are so grateful to the Momentum Grants Program for the funding that has allowed us to increase our program capacity and plan more inclusive excursions this year than ever before. This support makes a real difference for the young adults in our community. πŸ’›

πŸ“š See Me Beautiful 2026 is one month away β€” and spots are filling fast!

This November 4th, we're gathering at Centro Caboto Centre for a full day of learning, connection, and inspiration centred around this year's theme: Right to Read.

Here's what makes See Me Beautiful truly one of a kind: it's the only professional development opportunity in Manitoba where parents and school teams learn side by side, at the same table.

When families and educators come together in the same room, something powerful happens β€” and the students with disabilities in our community are better supported because of it.

If you're a parent, don't just register yourself β€” invite your child's teacher and EA too. EAs attend for free!

Today is the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. 🧑

At MDSS, we believe that inclusion means everyone β€” and that commitment extends to advocating for Indigenous peoples with disabilities in Manitoba, who continue to face systemic barriers to the services and supports they deserve.

Recommendation 10 of the IAS Report calls for the immediate removal of eligibility exclusions for First Nations people living on reserve, and for a co-created provincial disability strategy developed with Indigenous leadership.

We stand behind this call. We encourage you to learn more, read the report, and add your voice to this important conversation.
