To our Manitoba Down Syndrome Society members (MDSS),
In the past, your membership fees would automatically grant you membership with not only the MDSS, but also with the Canadian Down Syndrome Society (CDSS). As of 2021, this has been discontinued.
The CDSS has informed us that they are no longer continuing with joint memberships with any of the Provincial Organizations.
In order to continue receiving the benefits from both the MDSS and the CDSS you will now be required to obtain memberships from both Organizations.
For cost and more details of what those benefits are, we encourage you to visit the Websites for each, please see below:
MDSS | Manitoba Down Syndrome Society
Canadian Down Syndrome Society | (cdss.ca)
In addition to these changes, we would like to announce MDSS’s gift to our members this year.
In 2021, all MDSS memberships will be free from January 1, 2021-December 31, 2021.
All we ask of you is to visit the MDSS Website and renew your membership in the typical fashion. The changes we have made will ensure that NO payment is received.
***If you have already paid or for some reason a transaction occurs please contact us through the Website, please be patient and this will be reversed as these things can sometimes take time.
If you are left with questions, they may also be forwarded to us through the Website.
Thank you,
Kris Yunker
President
