1:1 Trailblazer Sessions

Trailblazer Sessions are all about growth, empowerment, and connection.

These 1:1 sessions are designed for adults with developmental disabilities who are ready to step out, build confidence, and engage in life beyond four walls.

Each session is goal-driven, person-centred, and rooted in the belief that everyone deserves to live a life filled with purpose, adventure, and community.

The Scoop

"Because life isn’t meant to be lived on autopilot, it’s meant to be a grand adventure."

Last Friday's TGIF Bingo Night was such a good reminder of why I love keeping these nights on the smaller side.

Don't get me wrong, big events can be a blast, but there is something really special about a room where everyone gets to know & hear one another, conversations happen naturally, and nobody feels lost in a crowd. For many people, including myself, the hustle and bustle of bigger events can be a little too much. Sometimes a smaller crowd is exactly what makes the night.

It honestly felt like a giant Trailblazers Club bingo night with dancing thrown in, and before we knew it the evening had flown by.

A huge thank you to my incredible volunteers for helping make the night what it was. I couldn't do these without you.

And to everyone who came, laughed, danced, yelled "BINGO!", and spent your Friday night with us, thank you. You are what makes these nights so special.

Also, keep an eye out because I'll be announcing our July TGIF Night shortly. Time is flying a bit too quickly lol.

Just your friendly UO reminder to drink some water today.

Hydration is important.

Also important: knowing that apps are half price at Townhall/The Dirty South on Thursdays.

I like to think UO provides a well-rounded education lol.

P.s. Townhall Eatery is the UO unofficial-official fave restaurant spot!

Most people see a service dog wearing a vest.

What they don't see are the countless hours of breeding, puppy raising, socialization, training, and dedication that begin when these puppies are only days old.

Behind every successful service dog is an incredible team of staff, volunteers, puppy raisers, and trainers working together toward one goal: changing someone's life.

Last night, the Trailblazers had the opportunity to learn more about that journey from @autismdogservices. A huge thank you to Emma & @ads_reece for sharing her knowledge, answering questions, and giving us a glimpse into the incredible work that goes on behind the scenes.

It's pretty amazing what can happen when a whole community comes together for one pup.

Whether you're interested in puppy raising, volunteering, supporting their mission, or simply learning more, @autismdogservices is an organization worth checking out.

Happy birthday David!! 🎉

One of the coolest things about you is your curiosity. You’re the kind of person who likes to get hands on, figure out how things work, and keep learning along the way. That willingness to dig in and understand something is a quality that’s pretty awesome to see.

On top of that, you’re just a fun guy to be around. Between your top notch smile and the enthusiasm you bring into the day, you have a way of making activities that much more enjoyable.

Hope you have an epic birthday filled with good food, good laughs, and maybe even the chance to tinker with something new. Wishing you a year ahead with plenty of opportunities to keep learning, creating, and making great memories.

Just a trio of super cool Trailblazers at last night's Club Gain dance!

Heading to StreetFest tomorrow?

Be sure to stop by and support one of our favourite community partners, @ststephenchurch_hamont !

I'll be there throughout the day helping out!

Every Trailblazer I spot tomorrow will be entered into a draw for something really cool! 😎
