Disability Pride Month is celebrated annually during July to raise awareness and promote the inclusion of people with disabilities. The purpose of the month is to encourage individuals with disabilities to take pride in their identity, recognize their contributions, and advocate for their rights. Let's celebrate DISABILITY PRIDE MONTH and be inclusive of people with disabilities during this month. There are many things that we can do. Firstly, we can attend events or programs, either online or in person, that are designed explicitly for Disability Pride Month.
Additionally, we can create awareness by sharing our own stories, learning about others' experiences, and advocating for change. It's important to remember that people with disabilities come from diverse backgrounds and have various challenges and abilities. Therefore, we can celebrate Disability Pride Month by promoting inclusivity and accessibility, breaking down barriers, and treating individuals with disabilities with respect and dignity.

Josie Kells enjoyed a few hours of being a mentee at the Markdale Foodland bakery, expanding her knowledge in baking and decorating.
Josie learned various techniques, including how to effectively ice cakes and cupcakes, make stunning flowers out of icing and create other decorative elements to add to her cakes.
Josie's eagerness to learn and determination to improve helped her achieve substantial progress in a short amount of time.
Her time spent in the bakery demonstrates the significant value of mentorships in providing aspiring bakers with tools for success.
Thank you Markdale Foodland for the wonderful opportunity.
