SUMMARY:Global Day of Giving: Giving Tuesday
DESCRIPTION:GivingTuesday is a global movement for giving and volunteering\, taking place each year after Black Friday. The “Opening day of the giving season\,” it’s a time when charities\, companies and individuals join together and rally for favourite causes. In the same way that retailers take part in Black Friday\, the giving community comes together for GivingTuesday. \nGivingTuesday harnesses the potential of social media and the generosity of people around the world to bring about real change in their communities; it provides a platform for them to encourage the donation of time\, resources and talents to address local challenges. It also brings together the collective power of a unique blend of partners – nonprofits\, civic organizations\, businesses and corporations\, as well as families and individuals – to encourage and amplify small acts of kindness. Across Canada and around the world\, GivingTuesday unites communities by sharing our capacity to care for and empower one another. \n“We have two days that are good for the economy. Now we have a day that is good for the community too.”

SUMMARY:Let's Talk Accessibility First in the Digital Age
DESCRIPTION:In today’s digital age\, emerging technologies have brought services online\, and this has been amplified by the COVID-19 pandemic. However\, not everyone benefits equally or experiences the online world and new technologies in the same way\, especially those with disabilities. As we become more digital\, how do we make sure that we’re fostering an accessibility-first mindset from the start\, when it comes to people with disabilities? \nAs part of International Day of Persons with Disabilities\, join top national and international experts to better understand what accessibility means in the digital age and how you can integrate an accessibility first mindset into your work. Learn why this is not a technological issue\, but rather a policy\, social\, economic\, legal\, cultural and human rights issue that all public servants need to understand. \nOur Director of Innovation\, Chad Leaman\, will be speaking at this event.

SUMMARY:Virtual Holiday Hack Along – Adapt A Toy
DESCRIPTION:JOIN US AT OUR VIRTUAL HOLIDAY HACK ALONG AND HELP US TO PROVIDE MORE AFFORDABLE  ADAPTED TOYS  TO CHILDREN IN YOUR COMMUNITY\nMany electronic toys have a switch that activates its function. For children\, while being fun\, it helps teach cause and effect. Motor development\, cognitive development\, language and social interaction skills can also be promoted. Over the longer term these skills are applied to more sophisticated devices and equipment. This greatly enhances a person’s quality of life. \nFor children with disabilities\, pushing the toy’s default button may not be possible\, but they may be able to activate other switches. Switch adapting a battery operated toy enables alternate switches to be plugged in to operate the toy. This may be the only way a child can operate the toy. When a child with a disability first uses a switch toy\, it is often be the first time she/he has independently controlled anything! Regular interaction with toys and sensory devices can be of significant benefit to a child’s development. \n  \nFor The Virtual Holiday Hack Event You Will Need:\n\nA Star Gazer Toy  (you will need to buy-here’s a link via Amazon)\n3 female 3.5mm mono audio jacks\n3 mono 3\,5 mm audio cables (similar to this)\n5/32′ drill\nwire strippers\npliers\nsmall Phillips and Robertson screwdriver\na soldering iron stand\, solder and sponge( as well as copper braid or a de-soldering pump)\nflush cutters\npermanent marker\nmasking tape (optional)\na switch (your own\, or check out our open source assistive device library for designs)\nSafety glasses\n\nSpaces are limited: To register or for more info contact Suzanne Winterflood\, Regional Coordinator\, Winnipeg at suzannewin@neilsquire.ca
