Well after a long hiatus, GVDSS is finally ready to welcome everyone to a COVID friendly social gathering to celebrate the season. Come join us for seasonal music and singing, food and companionship. Reconnect with friends and families in the Down syndrome community, new and old. Come for a short visit or stay for the whole event. The Victoria Santa Parade is back on this year, starting at 5:00 PM, so families can take a short two block trip down the hill and watch the parade.To make this a safe environment for all participants, we are putting in place some safety precautions:

• All attendees 12 and older should be vaccinated and attendees should be prepared to show proof of vaccinations
• Attendees are expected to wear masks at all times, expect when seated and drinking or waiting
• Contact tracing will be in place and sanitation stations will be located throughout the venue – please use them prior to visiting the arts and crafts, food station and beverage table
• There will be a variety of food options including gluten free and vegetarian options, all individually wrapped for the health and safety of our attendees.We hope to see you there!
