SUMMARY:I Want to Be an Astronaut
DESCRIPTION:I Want to be an Astronaut is the story of an autistic young adult\, Morgan\, and their struggles to determine their place in the world. On a trip to a snoezelen room\, Morgan opens up to their best friend\, Avery\, about their impossible ambitions and their difficulties settling for real life. They’ve spent so long living in their head\, how can they possibly find a space to thrive in reality? Maybe it’s better to lose yourself in a beautiful illusion than face the world as it is. \nInspired by the real life experiences of the autistic author\, this play explores the sense of self\, mental health issues\, and the struggle of finding your path. 60 mins. plus post-show chat in theatre. \n  \nCLICK FOR TICKETS\n  \nWe’re very grateful for the opportunity to live\, work\, dance\, and celebrate the Arts on the traditional territory of the Snuneymuxw First Nation. hay ce:p q̓a.

SUMMARY:Aging Caregivers

Join our call with other “mature” parents and caregivers and we can problem solve together! \nSPECIAL GUEST SPEAKER: Jule Hopkins from PLAN coming to answer questions about planning:  wills\, estates\, trusts\, etc. \n  \nCLICK HERE TO REGISTER\n  \nYou are invited to join FSI CONTINUING CONVERSATIONS\, a private Facebook Group intended to continue conversations of support or provide an alternative platform for support. www.facebook.com/groups/fsicontinuingconversations/ \nAfter the session you are encouraged to share your feedback.
