SUMMARY:Rare But Not Alone
DESCRIPTION:Join us in this welcoming space for families who care for someone with a rare disorder (diagnosed or not). Rare disorders and conditions affect a small number of people in the country or even the world.

But it doesn’t have to be scary all of the time—especially if you have others beside you! Join our supportive group and find strength in numbers as we share stories\, connect with others who understand\, and build upon our supportive networks. \nFamily Support Institute of BC (FSI) is a provincial not-for-profit society committed to supporting families who have a family member with a disability. FSI is unique in Canada and the only grassroots family to family organization that has a broad volunteer base. FSI SUPPORTS AND SERVICES ARE FREE TO ANY FAMILY FSI is committed to making our events as accessible as possible to everyone who wants to attend. If you have accessibility needs\, please let us know when you register\, or send us an email to discuss your specific needs. Sign language (ASL) interpretation can be available with 3 weeks notice.

SUMMARY:What's holding us back? The future of inclusive education in Canada
DESCRIPTION:16th Annual National Policy Forum on Inclusion\nThis year’s policy forum will be a 3-part virtual series exploring the realities of inclusive education in Canada. The series will bring together self-advocates\, family members\, educators\, and policy experts. Article 24 of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities says that people with disabilities have a right to an inclusive education at all levels. We will explore what gets in the way of these rights in Canada and highlight examples of how we can overcome these barriers together. \nFormat: 3-part virtual event via Zoom webinar. The forum will include a series of panels and interactive Question & Answer periods. Panels include perspectives of lived experience from people with an intellectual disability and families\, as well as research and policy expertise from community organizations and educators. \nYour ticket gives you access to all 3 sessions \n\nWednesday\, November 5\, 2025\, 7pm-8:30pm Eastern\nWednesday\, November 12\, 2025\, 7pm-8:30pm Eastern\nWednesday\, November 19\, 2025\, 7pm-8:30pm Eastern\n\nA recording of the event will be provided to everyone who registers. \nThe forum will be held in English. Simultaneous French interpretation and English and French CART will be provided. \nImportant: ASL and LSQ will be available upon request. Please identify that you require ASL or LSQ when you register\, and no later than October 28\, 2025. ASL and LSQ interpreters are in high demand. It’s important to us that community members have access to interpreters in their daily lives for things like medical appointments\, education\, and legal processes. Understanding that access to interpretation is a valuable and limited resource\, we will book interpretation only when a need for them is identified. \nTo help us provide an accessible event\, please indicate your accommodation needs when you register. \nFor questions about this event\, please contact: forum@inclusioncanada.ca
