Tomorrow is World Down Syndrome Day (WDSD), known to some as day, a day to raise awareness of and celebrate people living with Down syndrome and to advocate for their rights, inclusion and well-being. The date for WDSD, March 21st or the 21st day of the 3rd month, was selected to signify the uniqueness of the triplication (trisomy) of the 21st chromosome which causes Down syndrome. We encourage everyone in our Maverick and Centurion community to wear colourful, mismatched socks as we celebrate our friends living with Down syndrome and recognize that it is our differences that make us beautiful!
