Our Initiatives

Inclusion Regina joined the COR family in 2019.

Next Chapter Book Club (NCBC)

The Next Chapter Book Club (NCBC) offers weekly opportunities for people experiencing an intellectual disability to read and learn together, talk about books, and make friends in a relaxed, community setting. Each group is comprised of five and eight people to allow for the development of strong friendships between members. Anyone may join the club, regardless of reading level and ability. Club members take on active roles; together they decide which books to read and how they would like to structure their hour-long get-togethers. Clubs are held throughout the community in book stores, cafes, or restaurants.

Let’s Connect

Let’s Connect is an educational initiative aimed at increasing knowledge and confidence in the use of technology and communication devices. Topics include: how to connect to wi-fi; being safe and secure online; accessibility and helpful apps; online etiquette; being smart on social media; and sharing your voice through pictures and videos.

Tell It Like It Is

A revolutionary program that it is sex-positive, inclusive and comprehensive; the purpose is to assist diverse learners in making life choices that promote optimal health and wellness in all dimensions of life. Using a compassionate approach, each module offers various learning opportunities through topics such as: communication skills; hygiene; online safety; developing goals and dreams; building healthy relationships; as well as sexual health education on topics such as STBBIs.

Together, we are striving to assist diverse learners and the people that support them in making life choices that promote optimal wellness in all dimensions of life.

Short Breaks

An intergenerational, afternoon program aimed to facilitate community building among older adults experiencing intellectual disability that are not currently connected to formal support, together with youth transitioning from the Hope’s Home After-School Program.

This one-of-a-kind collaborative initiative is striving to respond to the needs of individuals and their families to provide a short break option throughout the week. “Short Breaks” is designed to be social, with an educational, recreational and creative focus. The program is a partnership between Inclusion Regina, Creative Options Regina, Hope’s Home, The City of Regina, coupled with financial support from Sask Lotteries.

Best Buddies Regina

The Best Buddies College/University Program pairs students in post-secondary institutions with adults from the community with intellectual or developmental disabilities.

Inclusion Regina and Creative Options Regina are proud to be the Host Partner of the University of Regina Best Buddies Chapter (2021).
