In May, we hosted four amazing Karis Connected Conferences in Saskatoon, Kingston, Huntsville, and Waterloo! Hundreds of employees, people supported, and family members came together to experience Karis’ core values through listening, learning, and connecting. We had a blast!
In total, 17 different topics were presented, and conference participants were only able to attend four breakout sessions. So, we decided to record the following great sessions to make this content available for all:
- The Power of Celebration (Chris Wignall)
- Passport and Person Directed Services: Choice and Control (Amy Van Til)
- Community Building through Employment, Volunteerism & CPS (Alicia Soares)
- Equity, Diversity & Inclusion (EDI) is Belonging (Cayla Charles)
Interested in these topics? Make sure to watch the videos!
