Busy, busy day today. 150 people in three hours, loads of things painted, loads of snacks devoured, a very successful event! #stalbert #NeutralGround #inclusion #community #socialisolation #mentalhealthmatters #JoinUs
Busy at St. Albert Centre today, but now the initial rush has calmed down a bit. 100 people in the first hour, thanks very much to our hosts for the 100 gift cards we gave away. So many people are painting, crafting, playing and chatting. And to our small horde of volunteers that have turned up to make this happen, I salute you 🙂🖖 👏👏👏
Thank you Cheryl Dumont. Ever an enthusiast of creating connections in community, Cheryl Dumont was an avid supporter of Neutral Ground programming and initiatives. After working with us to offer an event at St. Albert Further Education's St. Albert Centre location on February 10, 2024, Cheryl jumped right in and immersed herself as a participant to authentically experience the sense of connection that comes from a Neutral Ground event. Rest in Peace Cheryl - St. Albert is the community it is thanks to you!
Have you considered volunteering with NeutralGround but you're unsure if it will be a good fit? We could do with a few extra volunteers for our event at St Albert Centre this Saturday (19th) 12:30-4:30 pm. The roles will be straightforward, playing games, socializing, and keeping our crafting tables running smoothly. Please contact Richard@neutral-ground.ca directly, or just send us a message. Thanks for your time.

Sharing this event for St. Albert Community Kid Connect This event is to cultivate community and connection for the St. Albert autism community. This event is for autistic children ages 10-13 and their caregivers. This event is to cultivate community and connection for the St. Albert autism community in partner with Autism Edmonton. Caregivers will come with their children. The children will have a facilitator teaching karate and playing video games together. Caregivers are encouraged to stay and connect with other caregivers during this event. This is a free event thanks to Desa Karate donating their space and party package.

Since the United Nations General Assembly designated 2 April as World Autism Awareness Day (WAAD) in 2007, the UN has worked to promote the full realization of human rights and fundamental freedoms for autistic individuals, ensuring their equal participation in society. Over the years, significant progress has been made, driven in large part by autistic advocates who have worked tirelessly to bring the lived experiences of autistic individuals to the forefront of global discussions. #mentalhealthmatters #inclusion #community #socialisolation #NeutralGround
