SUMMARY:ONE DAY
DESCRIPTION:The 13th annual One Day event will take place on Saturday\, September 14th\, from 10:00 am to 3:00 pm\, at Topaz Park in Victoria.\n\n\n\nOne Day attracts hundreds of community members to celebrate the diversity in our community through a free\, family-oriented celebration of everyone – for everyone – in our community.

Community Inclusion Month is a time when communities around the province and across Canada host events to celebrate the abilities and achievements of people living with diverse abilities.
