March is here and we are excited to welcome spring.

There is a lot to celebrate and enjoy this month, including Irish Heritage Month, St. Patrick’s Day, World Down Syndrome Day, Easter, and more.
We’ve got articles and activities for all of this and more. As the weather changes, spring encourages us to step outside and enjoy the great outdoors.

It’s a time for celebrating friendships,
embracing new beginnings, and soaking in the positive vibes of the season.
This month, we’re also reminded of the importance of inclusion making sure everyone feels valued and appreciated.

With that in mind, we also have some disability awareness articles, featuring
stories from the Easter Seals House in Vancouver, BC.
