October is Community Inclusion Month!

Every October CVS welcomes another Community Inclusion Month! 2022 has been a great year as we emerge from the restraints of the pandemic and get back out into our community as we always have.

This year CVS will be focusing our efforts on communicating the importance of Integration in our community, instead of integration.

CVS will be doing a number of initiatives throughout Inclusion Month this year. You will notice our recent article in the Tri-City News about supporting people with developmental disabilities so they can live the life they choose, published online on their website here. Additionally, there will be some events in the community that we will be letting you know about in the coming weeks. In the meantime, if you pass by our office early next week, you’ll see some signs to wish everyone in our community a Happy Inclusion Month!

Grab your popcorn and a comfy chair, CVS is excited to invite you to join us for a free movie night on Thursday, July 28 at 6:00 pm! CVS will cover the cost of admission, but you will need to take care of any other costs for food, etc.

In Celebration of National Indigenous History Month

The month of June is National Indigenous History Month and June 21st is National Indigenous Peoples Day!

This is a day for all Canadians to recognize and celebrate the unique heritage, diverse cultures and outstanding contributions of First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples. The Canadian Constitution recognizes these three groups as Aboriginal Peoples, also known as Indigenous peoples and we are proud to celebrate our country’s heritage.

CVS is excited to host activities in celebration of National Indigenous Peoples Month recognizing the First Nations, Inuit and Metis peoples!

CVS Won Not For Profit Of The Year!

CVS was recently nominated by the Tri-Cities Chamber of Commerce as a finalist for Not-for-Profit of the Year in their annual Business Excellence Awards. Having been nominated in this category for the last five years and not made the stage… We are very proud and honored to announce that this year, we won!! 

The dedication and hard work from our staff could not be more appreciated and you should all take a moment to congratulate yourselves on this achievement. This is a very big accomplishment for us and we could not have won this as an organization without all the hard work and dedication from everyone at CVS toward achieving our vision and mission on a daily basis.

Thank you so much to our staff, partners, and everyone else in the CVS community for everything you do, and congratulations to each of you on this team victory!
