We host Parent Evenings on the Second Thursday of each month at 7:30 in Abbotsford, B.C.

We also run a New Parent Visiting program where we welcome new families who have just welcomed a child with Down syndrome into their lives. If you are a new parent, or know of one, our trained visitors would love to meet with you and offer any advice and support we can. We even have a special gift for you! If you would like information on any of our programs, please email us at fvdss@telus.net.
