⛳️FORE!

On Thursday, May 28th, the Rygiel leadership team had the honour of supporting our fellow partner in the 2026 Hauser’s Annual Charity Golf Tournament!

The team may have been there for a good cause, but they played to win!

Highlights;
🏌🏽‍♀️Zee won the raffle prize!
⛳️Zee, Alfred, Lindsay and David Campbell with Power Plus Mobility won for “the most honest team”.
🏆Lisa, Wioletta, Liam and Nicole won a prize for longest ladies drive on hole three.
🏆Wioletta won the group the least putts on hole 11!

The team had loads of fun but most importantly, they had a chance to celebrate and support our important partnerships that help us strengthen our community.

Today, on International Nurses Day, we recognize and celebrate the compassion, dedication, and strength that nurses bring to the lives of others every single day.

Nurses play an essential role in providing care, comfort, advocacy, and support, not only to individuals, but to families and communities as well. Their kindness, patience, and commitment make a lasting impact in moments both big and small.

Thank you to all nurses for the incredible work you do and for the difference you make every day 💙

It’s National Volunteer Week and we’re feeling all kinds of grateful 💙

At Rygiel, volunteers aren’t just “extra help”, they’re part of the heart of what we do. They show up with kindness, patience, humour, and a willingness to connect in ways that truly matter. Whether it’s sharing a laugh, supporting an activity, or simply being present, those moments add up to something big.

You don’t always see the impact right away but trust us, it’s there.

In smiles. In confidence. In a stronger sense of belonging.

To every volunteer who has spent time with us (past and present): thank you for showing up, for caring, and for making our community stronger.

We couldn’t do this without you and honestly, we wouldn’t want to.

❓Do you keep a waitlist for funded spots?
Access to funded spaces is managed through DSO, so individuals must be connected with DSO to be considered for available opportunities.

Today on International Women’s Day, we recognize the role of women across the developmental sector and the importance of strengthening women’s leadership and participation in shaping more inclusive world.

Across communities and organizations, women continue to bring perspectives, expertise, and lived experience that help inform policies, programs, and partnerships aimed at creating a community of belonging.

Empowerment is more than a message, it requires continued commitment to removing barriers, investing in leadership opportunities, and creating spaces where women can meaningfully contribute to decision-making that affects their communities.

International Women’s Day is an opportunity to reflect on progress, acknowledge ongoing challenges, and reaffirm the importance of advancing gender equality across the developmental sector. Empowered Women, Empower Women
