From local adventures to creative projects and community connections, there’s always something happening through The Social Scene. This drop-in space located downtown Liverpool is the hub for our recreation/life tasting opportunities and is a great example that highlights QASL’s committment to ensuring our services truly align with the Remedy and support people to live, work, and thrive in their communities.

Light up by wearing purple and blue today!

Tomorrow, October 16, communities across Nova Scotia and all of Canada will glow purple and blue for Light It Up! For National Disability Employment Awareness Month (NDEAM) — an event led by the Ontario Disability Employment Network (ODEN)

This initiative celebrates and raises awareness about the importance of disability inclusion in employment and community life. By lighting up landmarks, businesses, and homes, we show our support for creating diverse, accessible, and inclusive workplaces where everyone can thrive.

Join us by wearing purple and blue, lighting up your space, and starting conversations about inclusive employment.
