PRESS ROOM
Please come join us for a night of belly aching laughs! You can buy tickets online on Eventbrite or at cash at the door. Please note that we will have a 50/50 raffle going on during this event as well!
#auties it’s official, we have partnered with @four_dogs_brewing to host FREE dog friendly, inclusive, accessible networking opportunities for the autistic community. We will ensure that the event is sensory sensitive and welcoming to all. If you do not own a dog it’s a good place to get some puppy cuddles.
As this venue is dog friendly outside & inside there is no kitchen so you will have to bring your own food and snacks, you are also responsible for your own drinks and transportation.

created by the autistic community for the autistic community
Personalized Support in Public Spaces: Retail and Public Spaces: Businesses and public spaces may develop strategies to better serve individuals with autism, such as providing quiet areas, sensory-friendly environments, or additional assistance when needed.
Fostering a Sense of Personal Safety and Security: Autistic individuals and their families feel more safe and secure knowing that there is a tangible way to communicate their unique needs to others in the community.
Facilitated Access to Support Services: Will help facilitate access to support services and accommodations for autistic individuals. This might include special considerations in academic, employment, social services, and public spaces.
Community Inclusion: The card will contribute to the creation of a more inclusive community by encouraging understanding and support for the autistic spectrum. Our imitative will stimulate community initiatives to make public spaces more accessible and accommodating strengthening our local community and small businesses.
Education and Training Opportunities: The introduction of identification cards will prompt educational programs aimed at training community members, including educators, employers, and service providers, on how to interact effectively with autistic individuals.
Preventing Misunderstandings and Misinterpretations: An identification card will help prevent misunderstandings and misinterpretations of autistic individuals and the human spectrum as a whole.
Introducing an Alberta Autism Identification card that has countless benefits for the community as a whole. It's important to note that the effectiveness of such a card depends on its implementation and the support systems in place.
