Clements Centre

Saturday, June 27th, at Red Arrow Brewing was nothing short of incredible. We had a full house, and Clements Centre wants to sincerely thank everyone who helped make this event such a success.

Thank you to every person who crossed through the entrance and became a part of something special; you helped contribute to the amazing atmosphere. Our professionally filmed project will be featured at the Supported Employment Program 2027 gala.

A huge thank you to the pre-show event music, Cameron Yarrow, to all of the amazing bands, to our sponsors, and especially to Curt at Red Arrow Brewing, whose support and generosity helped make the evening possible.

To the amazing Supported Employment Program team, thank you for all the hard work, dedication, and heart you poured into this event.

One of the most meaningful moments of the night was seeing DJ Manic truly living his best life. Hearing him thank us for helping him pursue his dreams was a powerful reminder of why this work matters.

Thank you to all of our entrepreneurs and vendors who made sales, shared their products, raised awareness, and showed our community that self-employment is not just possible, but a viable and valuable employment pathway for the people we serve.

Together, we continue to challenge barriers and advocate for disability rights in employment. Thank you for being part of this movement.

Getting around matters. Appointments. Interviews. Community events. Nature outings. For Theana, our vehicles mean safety, comfort, and the freedom to be part of her community. In her words:

"I do not drive, so it is nice we have vehicles that help us get around. Having vehicles that are safe and comfortable is important to me."

Vehicles are central to our mission, and they change the lives of the people we serve every day. Your support helps keep them on the road, and thanks to Island Ford Superstore's generous matching gift of $15,000, your donation will be doubled.

To help us keep the adventures going, please donate today at clementscentre.org/make-a-donation.

The Supported Employment Program at Clements Centre is all about setting goals and reaching for big dreams. On June 27th, we are celebrating those dreams by showcasing local artists, performers, and entrepreneurs at Red Arrow from 3:00 PM to 9:00 PM.

Join us for an unforgettable day featuring:

• DJ Manic headlining the event

This year, local Tim Hortons locations banded together to make our charity the sole recipient of their Smile Cookie Week community fundraising initiative. Amazing! The result is a generous $26,872.47 contribution to our "Drive for a Drive" campaign. We are grateful for this support and incredible community spirit.

Their generosity makes it much easier for us to repair, maintain, replace, fuel, and insure the vehicles we need to take the people we serve to interviews, medical/dental appointments, community inclusion events, nature outings, and more. Thank you!
