The transition from children’s services to adult services for youth with ongoing health care needs and/or a disability often present significant challenges and barriers. Parents, caregivers and individuals with special needs often have questions along the transition journey and the goal of the fifth annual Transition Fair is to share information on services and resources available in Calgary and the surrounding areas. A variety of agencies, organizations and association will be at the fair to support families and may help facilitate the transition process for families who have an upcoming transition in the life of their family member with a special need.

Tobogganing Hills
Tobagganing is not only a lot of fun but it is also excellent exercise! However, it can also be a little dangerous! Here are some tips and safety considerations to keep in mind when you go out on the hills!

- A snowy hill, free of ice with a gentle slope and long run off area is best.
- Be aware of any bumps, holes and obstacles such as trees, signs, fences and rocks.
- Stay away from roads, rivers, railways and parking lots.
- Before you push off, make sure your path is clear of other sledders
- Only sled in the daylight or on well-lit hills and to reduce the risk of hypothermia and frostbite.
- Dress properly with hats, mittens or gloves and warm waterproof footwear. Cold is good, but cold wet feet are not fun!
- Children should wear a helmet, such as a CSA approved bike or ski helmet designed for high impact collisions.
- Tuck in scarves or clothes with drawstrings so they don’t get caught up in the sleds.
- Accompany any child under five on the toboggan, and don’t go face first
- Keep an eye out for oncoming sledders and quickly get out of the way when you reach the bottom.
- Leave your pets at home!
