LDSA exists to advocate and engage with community partners, stakeholders, and the greater community at large to promote dignity, equal rights and a better life for all persons with Down Syndrome. We offer a range of programs and services to our community.
Wee Ones Play Group
Ages 0-10
These casual, monthly play dates are for children with Down Syndrome aged 0-10 years, and their families. During winter we meet at the Westmount Family Centre (Ontario Early Years Centre), in the summer at local parks & splash-pads. A great opportunity to meet other LDSA parents.

Jazzercise
Talk Back
Ages 13-17, 18+
Developed in 2016 with longstanding program provider, Rejuvenate Health Services, this program offers communication and social skills to individuals with Down Syndrome in two separate age groups currently 13 – 17, and 18+. This program is offered twice per year, fall and spring.
Many of our members enjoy several types of sports at differing levels, with great success. The LDSA has created, and also has members involved in many different sports associations. We have highlighted a few associations below, but this is by no means all that is available. If you know of a particular association that specializes in or accommodates people with special needs, please feel free to contact us and we would be happy to promote them here as well. People with Down Syndrome may be, but are not always, limited in certain physical activities. It is advisable that you consult a medical professional before pursuing sports activities.
