On March 12, 2024 over 100 CLS employees and guests gathered at the Vancouver Golf Club to honour and celebrate employees who reached milestone years of employment and the CLS, and employees who had been nominated by their peers for 4 different service awards. These awards recognize employees who embrace the CLS Mission, Vision and Values, and who go above and beyond in their support of people to live as full citizens. In the next edition of the CLS Communicator newsletter there will be a full article and writeup of these awards. Thank you to everyone who attended, and thank you to all of our employees for the wonderful work they do each and every day.
The theme for this year’s International Women’s Day is “Inspire Inclusion”.

So today, join us in celebrating the strength, resilience, and achievements of the wonderful women in our community and worldwide.
Affecting 50 million people worldwide, epilepsy is one of the most common neurological diseases. Despite it being so widespread, there’s still a large knowledge gap about how to support those living with epilepsy. We’re hoping that for the month of March that you join us in learning and spreading the word about this life alternating disease.
