"Inspiring” comes up a lot when people talk about disability. It’s usually meant kindly. But it can quietly shift the focus from the person to how everyone else feels watching them.

Here’s what we actually see, day to day:

➡️Someone who needed help logging in last spring now sends their own emails.
➡️Someone in food service training knows the lunch rush routine before anyone has to explain it.
➡️Someone on a group outing gets teased right back by the people at their table.

None of that is a performance for an audience. It’s skills, routine, and friendship. The same things anyone wants.

People with disabilities don’t need to be inspiring to deserve respect, opportunity, and belonging. They deserve those things because they’re people.

Got training budget left before the year wraps up?

If your team’s first aid certifications are due (or overdue), now’s a good time to put those dollars to work before they reset.

COSMOS offers Basic and Intermediate First Aid Training in Red Deer. It’s a two-day course, held at our office in the north end of the city, or we can come to you if you’ve got a larger group.

$150 per person, paid at registration
10% off for nonprofit sector workers
Spots are limited, so registration is required in advance

Your training dollars also stay local and go toward the work COSMOS does alongside people with disabilities across Central Alberta.

To check availability before the end of the year, reach out to Loretta:

Have you tried the new Drive-Up windows at Bottle Depot 2 on Orr Drive?

10/25/2026

The turkey’s gone. The bottles are not.

If Thanksgiving left your neighbours with a stack of empties by the back door, your team can do them a favour. Run a bottle drive, take those leftovers off their hands, and save them the trip to the depot.

They get their garage back. Your team gets closer to tournament fees, new jerseys, or that bus trip to provincials. Everybody wins!

Send us a message or give us a call at (403) 343-0715 to get it set up.
