This was the perfect way to wrap up the summer season. Home Share providers and the people they support in their homes gathered together in the sunny park to enjoy lawn activities, snacks, and spend intentional time connecting with the Bethesda community.

To our delight, many people at the gathering discovered unexpected connections. Home Share providers reconnected with familiar faces and people they had crossed paths with over the years, while others connected with friends from different services and even HandyDART. It goes to show that our community is closer than you think.

These “it’s a small world” connections created an atmosphere of genuine joy and openness. Looking out across the park, you could see open arms, smiles, and new friendships forming. People welcomed one another, shared their stories, and laughed together, building up the sense of community around them.

Thank you everyone who came out to connect and have fun together! 💜

And that’s a wrap on Summer Camps 2026! 🌊☀️

We had so much fun with all our campers and staff! This summer was full of adventures and outings. We hiked at Cascade Falls, spent sunny days at Harrison Beach, explored the Greater Vancouver Zoo, took in the ocean views at White Rock, visited local parks, and played plenty of kickball!

When we weren’t out exploring, we spent time at home base singing songs, dancing, making crafts, and enjoying time together.

Thank you to everyone who helped make this summer such a great one! We can’t wait to see you again next year! 💙

What our camera rolls look like after Community Fun Day! 📸🎞️

As you can tell from our camera roll, Community Fun Day was a success! There was so much to do at this amazing event put on by the community living organizations of Abbotsford. Everyone enjoyed the foam zone, relaxing at the picnic tables, endless games, ice cream treats, and live music. And yes, spontaneous dancing did break out when the Elvis songs started playing! 💃🕺

We loved having our photo booth there and getting to see so many familiar faces. Our photo booth crew had a great time catching up with everyone who stopped by to say hi and smile for the camera. This day was such a great reminder of how special and enriching community living really is.

It truly was a celebration of the spirit of community living: fun, inclusive, and empowering. ❤️

On a warm, breezy end-of-summer day, the Bethesda Richmond community gathered in the park for a time of intentional connection.

The gazebo was decorated with cheerful paper decorations, and the surrounding trees provided plenty of shade. A local church attended by many of the people we support led us in a few songs, including Shelter by Brian Doerksen. The words, “Everybody needs respect and dignity. Everybody needs love,” felt especially meaningful as the voices rose in volume around us.

Persons supported, family members, support staff, and church members all came together, reflecting the many relationships that make up the Richmond community. A short devotional on belonging was shared, followed by an amazing spread of homemade food.

But perhaps the best part was simply seeing everyone together—the hugs between old friends, the laughter, the stories and life updates being exchanged, and the joy of being with people who truly know one another. It was a beautiful reminder of what it means to belong: to be seen, valued, welcomed, and loved for who you are.

These are the moments that make community meaningful. A place where each person knows they matter, where there is always room to draw closer, and where genuine relationships remind us that we are better when everyone belongs. ❤️
