🟣June is Aphasia Awareness Month🟣

In honour of the month, the Aphasia flag has been raised at our office! We'd like to express our gratitude for the heartfelt thanks we received from the Aphasia advocacy group that meets at our office in Simcoe.

They wanted to share this important message;
"June is Aphasia Awareness Month....
but we live with Aphasia every day."

What is Aphasia?
◾Aphasia is a language impairment following a stroke, brain injury or brain illness.
◾Aphasia can affect speaking, reaching writing and understanding.
◾Aphasia is a communication difficulty. It does not affect thinking of intellect.
◾People with Aphasia know more than they can say.

On Saturday, The Extraordinaires hosted People Helping People, a workshop for self-advocates and those who would like to learn to be a self-advocate! The event was HUGE success and completely SOLD OUT! Speakers included Moira Robertson, The Council of Community Living Ontario – Keith Metalf, Amber Taylor, Niko Pupella, Rose Vandermeer from The Centre for Housing Rights, and Michael & Marcel Jacques.

The Extraordinaires would like to thank McDonalds for their donation of coffee. And thanks to Community Living Access and the Norfolk Association for Community Living for their support in making the day happen!

Community Living Access is already part of our Superior family in so many ways. We have amazing staff members here, and we are lucky enough to have some of their incredible clients take part in our gym and personal training services too.

We love and appreciate every single one of them. They bring smiles, hard work, personality, and so much joy through our doors and honestly, our gym is better because of them.

So here’s our blue & green ribbon, worn proudly, with love from all of us at Superior Workout Training Centre.

Stay Strong, Stay Superior 💙💚
