I was really excited to come across a local company that has designed and developed re-usable bags. b.b.begonia bags are functional, portable and gorgeous! Our first shipment sold out (we have 1 left!) and we are awaiting the arrival of shipment two that will include new designs. Check out our website at the end of June for our new selections!

Celebrate (and support) Abilities!

Community Living Winnipeg is an organization whose mission is to enhance the lives and status of people living with an intellectual disability by promoting full inclusion and participation in the community. One of the programs that they run is the Among Friends group. This group provides a variety of social and educational opportunities to youth. Recently, past participants of an inclusive art class had some of their art reproduced into a collection of cards. The second run of these beautiful cards will be available shortly from Community Living and all proceeds return directly back to the artists! Contact amongfriends@aclwpg.ca if you would like to support this inclusive initiative and have some unique cards to present to clients and friends! www.com munitylivingwinnipeg.com The Manitoba Marathon has taken place since 1979. Manitoba Marathon is not just a race, it is a fund raiser that supports projects for people living with an intellectual disability. Manitoba Marathon receives NO government funding - it is totally reliant on sponsorship dollars and entry fees to exist. Come out on Sunday June 21st to support The Manitoba Marathon!
