NorthSask Special Needs Inc. NSN is a non-profit, charitable organization providing enhanced opportunities for vulnerable adults NSN (North Sask Special Needs) was established in 2002.

In 2003 and 2004, NSN ran a summer recreation program in La Ronge for people with cognitive challenges. In 2004 NSN incorporated, with funding from Mamawetan Churchill River Health Authority. In 2007, NSN was able to hire a part-time Executive Director, as well as two staff to start Scattered Outreach Project (SSOP). Its purpose is to assist individuals struggling with addictions, homelessness and

other disabilities. In 2009, NSN re-located to the Lampwick Building and opened a drop-in centre, which provides outreach services for individuals. These services focus on transient people with addictions and support all areas of life. Scattered Site also provides a nutritious lunch five days a week and partners with the La Ronge Food Bank. It has approximately 7500 visitors annually. In February 2012, 30 Scattered Site participants signed declarations of homelessness. In 2014, NSN partnered with CLSD(Community Living Service Delivery) and Social Services to launch a Day Program for individuals with cognitive disabilities, addictions, and/or dual diagnoses. In 2015, NSN hired a SILP (Supported Independent Living Program) worker, two Day program Workers, an Executive Director and a Program Coordinator.

✨ Last but definitely not least, the DSPs of NSN’s Supported Independent Living Program! 💙

The pros at promoting independence, solving life’s little emergencies, giving top-tier pep talks, and somehow knowing exactly which grocery item got forgotten. 😂🛒

Our SILP staff help make independent living feel a little less overwhelming and a lot more empowering. Their support, patience, and dedication make a difference every single day.

Saving one of the best for last this Direct Support Professional Recognition Week 2026. Thank you to our incredible SILP DSPs! ✨

🏠💙 Shoutout to the DSPs of NSN’s Ty’s House Group Home!

They are the true masters of patience, teamwork, and finding things that were “literally just here a second ago." 😂

For Direct Support Professional Recognition Week 2026, we’re also celebrating the amazing people who turn everyday moments into meaningful ones. Whether it’s offering support, sharing laughs, encouraging independence, or simply being there when it matters most, our Ty's House DSPs bring heart into everything they do. ✨

They’re the calm during chaos, the biggest cheerleaders in the room, and the reason Ty’s House feels like home. 🏡

Thank you for showing up every day with compassion, dedication, and enough energy to survive back-to-back questions, snack requests, and spontaneous dance parties. 😄💃
