March is Best Buddies Month, and no, that doesn’t mean we’re going to take a kinder, gentler approach to question period. Best Buddies is a volunteer movement that partners students with and without intellectual disabilities for one school year.
Every March Best Buddies Canada and chapters across the country try to spread the word about their program. It fosters friendships. It fosters leadership development. It supports integrated employment for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities such as Down syndrome or Williams syndrome.
