Join us for our regular monthly meeting.  We always meet on the second Monday of every month, unless it is a stat holiday, then it is the third Monday.  These are the backbone of our support to families.  This is where you find out what events are coming up and also have a say in what future events we will be creating.  Start time is at 7:00 PM and begin with some networking with other families.  They are held upstairs in the Meadow Lake Hospital across from Public Health.  Childcare is often provided and the coffee is sure to be strong.  See you there. 

PACE will be making a short presentation about who we are and what we do.  We will be asking junior high students to consider volunteering for our organization, but specifically for Friend Blend.  Friend Blend is a peer mentoring opportunity where individuals with exceptionalities are paired with students who can play a positive role for them.  These may include healthy social relations, good decision-making, and fun recreational activities.  This is the continuation of a research project that PACE participated in 2013-14 with Dr. Janet McCabe that studied the positive effects of peer mentor relationships.

At our last monthly board meeting, we began a great discussion about the significance of processing grief on a regular basis.  Not the grief of losing a loved one, but the grief associated with the loss of certain expectations of raising a child with exceptionalities.  Join PACE moms as they delve into the topic in greater detail and learn from each other's experience.  Hosted by Carmen.  Contact Bluesette Campbell at bluesettecampbell@paceinc.ca or 306-240-8044 for details.
