Disability Service Professionals Help Build Inclusive Communities

Mr. Keisig: — Thank you, Mr. Speaker. This is Disability Service Professionals Week. This is the time to recognize and celebrate the disability service professionals and the vital support they provide for people with disabilities all across this province. Disability service professionals ensure that people are safe, supported, and included in their home communities. From administrative staff to supervisors and front-line support workers, these professionals play a huge part in the lives of so many Saskatchewan residents.

Disability Service Professionals Week is proclaimed in partnership with SARC. Saskatchewan Association of Rehabilitation Centres is a provincial association of approximately 100 community-based organizations that are dedicated to supporting people with disabilities to achieve their full potential. For more than five decades, SARC has helped people participate fully in their communities. Our government is proud of its relationship with SARC. We value their important work to nurture a more inclusive province.

Disability service professionals help us achieve our shared vision of a supportive, welcoming, and inclusive Saskatchewan where everyone can develop their potential and fully participate in their communities. Mr. Speaker, I ask all members to join me in recognizing Disability Service Professionals Week, thank these dedicated professionals for the work they do each and every day. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
