Building Connections That Matter!
Dear Community Partners,
This photo from our Truth and Reconciliation Day ceremony reminds us what “connection” truly means — coming together, listening, and learning from one another. It reflects the spirit of community that guides everything we do at CCSS. As we launch our first newsletter, I invite you to celebrate the relationships, stories, and shared moments that bring us closer. Thank you for being part of this journey toward understanding, compassion, and lasting connection.
— Daniel Suen, Executive Director
