Thursday Social Group participants enjoyed an evening decorating holiday cookies, which were made by Iain, a Social Group participant who runs his own small business making delicious gluten free baked goods.
The group also created holiday cards for their families and friends. Allistair, a Social Group participant who runs his own small business selling greetings card, was happy to share his skills to support other group members create their own cards.

GivingTuesday is a global day of giving, that many organizations throughout Canada take part in. Our Social Group participants and volunteers were eager to help out for the December 1 event.
Autism Nova Scotia's Social Group participants and volunteers were excited to be a part of this year's Parade of Lights, for the first time.
The rain didn't wash away any of our smiles at last weekend's Parade of Lights. It was truly a remarkable evening and we are so proud of the participants who shined bright through the rain. Humbled to live in a community who whistles and cheers as our group walked by and made the participants feel like the superheroes they truly are. To end off the night, a participant thanked our Program Director Yevonne Le Lacheur by saying, "This was the best day of my life. I've never been in a parade and never thought I would." This year during our Halloween Party participants had the opportunity to travel back in time and enter Mr. Worthington's Haunted Laboratory... See pictures of the eerie transformation below: Before: After: The Haunted Laboratory was sensory based, with lots of things to touch ("tarantula legs, werewolf fur, feathers of the cow, vampire "brains and guts") and smell (vampire poison).
