Join us for year number 7!!!  We have many new changes this year to our annual fundraising fun run/walk/bike/stroll.  As always, we will be gathering together to participate in a variety of distances but we are now getting active in our beautiful provincial park for a more scenic venue.  Also new this year is the finish line festivities of live music and fun for the kids. Bring your whole family and cheer on the participants or register for the event of your choice.  Not for you?  Consider pledging a race participant or become a sponsor to see your business logo on the back of our race shirts.

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.

PACE families want to get to know volunteers and introduce them to PACE kids.  What better way than to break bread together.  We heard the input from previous volunteers who wanted some more information from the parents. No problem!!  We love to talk about kids AND we love to eat so this is the perfect event.  Bring your curiosity and don't be afraid to ask questions.  Asking is ALWAYS the best policy. Location: TBD

Let the fun begin.  Join the Friend Blend Kick Off event with some exciting bowling and pizza.  Mentors are encouraged to show up at 5:00 PM for an orientation and families come at 5:30 PM.  This is a chance to meet up with mentors and get to know one another.  Both families and mentors should come with their calendars so that the next mentorship date can be set.  Mentors and families will now begin setting up their own meeting schedules.  If you need assistance, call Alicia LeHoux at Positively Parenting, 306-236-4804.

Come celebrate inclusion with this fun event!  Bring your whole family and your friends too.  We book the theatre and show a family friendly film and have the liberty to adjust lights and volume for our sensitivities.  No admission fees and concessions are available for purchase.  Contact Bluesette at 306-236-6105 for movie details.

Let's get active!  Sports N Rec is an all inclusive event.  That means that every PACE family gets to invite a friend or a whole family!!!  We usually meet up and recreate in a gym, outside or even at the pool.  After breaking a sweat, we always have some  snacks and drinks to revitalize.  This is a family event (not a drop off) and a really great place to network with other parents.  Usually we have a handful of volunteers from the junior high and high school to teach and interact with the kids.  Always sure to be a good time!

PACE has been nominated as Volunteer Organization of the Year at the Meadow Lake Business Excellence Awards.  Yay!!!  Wish us luck.

Celebrate a fun Easter-themed party at Lakeview Elementary.  Decorate cookies, find eggs and play!

Fusion Inclusion is a peer mentor group supported by SACL in Saskatoon.  They are traveling up to Meadow Lake to see what we are doing with Friend Blend.  It should be a great event with lots of fun and games, not to mention refreshments!!

If your ordinary track meet events don't leave you feeling pumped up and ready to take on the world, then perhaps the I CAN games are for you!  Dorintosh Central School has been hosting an amazing track and field event for students who may need extra supports to get the same kind of enjoyment out of this tradition.  Contact your child's teacher or SSST and inquire how to get them registered.   Registrations are typically due one week prior to the event.  If you'd like to speak with a family that has experience with the games or have more questions, contact Bluesette Campbell at (306) 236-6105 or Dorintosh Central School at (306)236-3313.

Our annual retreat gives families the opportunity to carve out time in their busy lives to spend quality time with one another and network with other families.  We host a speaker every year that has traveled a similar journey and can shed some light and inspiration.  This year's speaker are authors Arthur Slade and Brenda Baker.  Please contact Alicia at Positively Parenting (306-236-4804) to reserve a cabin.  Reservations are on a first come-first serve basis so don't miss out and call right away.  There are 8 cabins but camper's are welcome.

Sunday breakfast) will be covered by PACE.  PACE will also reimburse up to $100 of your childcare expenses should you incur any for your stay. Book at the Eco Lodge by calling 306-240-7900.  Just tell them you are booking for PACE.  You can sign up for the desired yoga classes at that time or do so by the 19th.  Enjoy and do it to take care of yourself so you can take care of others in your family!

Welcome to our annual event at Jonas Samson.  Every year the Jonas SCC very graciously keeps their Carnival up from the Friday and offers it to PACE so that our kids can experience the same environment, slightly modified...no crowds.  This provides a much more inviting environment for kids that find the regular event too overwhelming too enjoy.  This is an inclusive event so make sure to support your child in inviting a friend and they can bring their whole family!  This has been such a successful event for us.
