🎃 We did the monster mash! 🕸️

Halloween parties in Calgary and Edmonton were a perfect way for everyone to dress up, get together, and celebrate the spooky holiday!

Trick or treating, a haunted house, and dance parties hosted in our programs meant everyone could get in on the fun.

Have a spook-tacular weekend, ghosts and ghouls! 👻

Congratulations to John Van Sloten on the publication of his book, Thy Tender Care!

We were honoured to attend the book launch event this past weekend in Calgary, to meet the community rallying around this book about caregiving, disability, and faith, and to spotlight Edward Van Sloten’s artwork made in the Chrysalis Creative Art Program.

Thank you for the generous support of donations made to Chrysalis at this event to support our programs and ensure every person has the opportunity to lead a meaningful and self-directed life.

💛 Celebrating Friday with a cozy fall jam session! 🍂

Program participants in Edmonton spent the afternoon in a music circle, picking their favourite songs to play and sing along. As the weather starts to get cooler, it’s lovely to be together with friends and trying something new.

What instrument would you choose at the jam sesh?
