About the Co-Sponsor Organizations:
For more than 80 years, the Hamilton Jewish Federation has nurtured a strong, supportive and vibrant community for generations of Jewish Hamiltonians. Their role is to bring together the financial and human resources that enable a network of non-profit agencies and programs to care for the vulnerable, invest in our youth and deepen Jewish life efficiently and effectively.
SNAP (Special Needs Action Project) is an initiative by the Hamilton Jewish Federation that supports families and their children with special needs to be fully included in the community.
Beth Jacob Synagogue is dedicated to providing a welcoming and caring community for their members. They come together to nourish spirituality through worship, to increase understanding through study, to educate the young, and to better the world through acts of loving kindness.
The Down Syndrome Association of Hamilton was formed in 1982 by a small group of committed parents of children with Down syndrome. These parents came together to share their experiences, feelings, hopes, and expectations for their children and their future. These parents wanted to exchange information of medical and educational nature as it related to Down syndrome. They shared one set of common needs: to support, learn from, and rejuvenate one another.
Canadian Down Syndrome Week is a week to show the world that Canada is where ALL people are valued, fully participating citizens. It is a week to celebrate people with Down syndrome and teach others to “See the Ability.”
Created by the Canadian Down Syndrome Society, Canadian Down Syndrome Week (CDSW) is celebrated every November 1 to 7

This event is presented by The Community Transition Network
The Community Transition Network- a community of partners invested in transition planning, a process which includes families and service providers with the common goal of addressing transition needs for youth/young adults with disabilities. The Community Transition Network is a community task-driven committee which provides the opportunity for community partners to work collaboratively and network effectively. Our focus is to promote healthy living and quality of life for youth/young adults with disabilities who are in the transition to adult services and adult living.
Our committee acknowledges the transition to adult services is a challenging process for young people with disabilities and their families. Families, community members, and service providers alike, have identified many gaps in services available for young people and the need for shared resources and information between community organizations. The Community Transition Network believes that successful transition involves collaboration between the individuals, family and supportive others, and their community as a whole.
