World Autism Awareness Day celebrates eighth year in Calgary
On April 2, the Autism Aspergers Friendship Society (AAFS) and Autism Calgary will be hosting the eighth annual World Autism Awareness Day (WAAD) through an online platform called Remo. Since 2014, WAAD has been celebrated downtown by the Olympic Plaza. Although the pandemic still restricts large gatherings, participants will be able to celebrate by registering for the event and blowing bubbles to show support and acceptance of the Autistic community in Calgary.
In an interview with the
Gauntlet, Tracy Mendoza, the event planner for WAAD, spoke about the significance of this event, and the support this event highlights for members of the Autistic community in Calgary.
