Inclusivity
Langley comes together Celebrating all walks of life and all ranges of ability is what Saturday’s Community Living Day is all about. by Ronda Payne news@langleyadvance.com
No one should feel left out of their own community. Community Living Day honours this belief by providing a venue for all individuals, regardless of age, income, or ability to come together. Held the last Saturday in September, the Langley iteration of the provincial initiative will be held in Douglas Park from 10:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. With October being Community Living Month in B.C., Saturday is the perfect day to kick things off. Inclusion is the theme for Langley’s Community Living Day with the local name for the event being “Celebrate Inclusion – together, WE CAN.” The event allows participants and visitors to reflect on the many things those with developmental disabilities bring to the community.
