Astonished! Social Club
The Astonished! Social Club is a monthly recreation, leisure, or social gathering for Core Members, families, and friends
Astonished! contracts with a 3 member team of vibrant young adults with and without complex physical disAbilities to plan and carry out inclusive, social, recreational, and cultural events for young adults with complex physical disAbilities and the wider community. The monthly events provide a great avenue for potential Core Members to come out and see what Astonished! is all about! For upcoming events click here.

The Impact
One of the great things about the Social Club is the opportunity to be together in unique and interesting ways. The Astonished! Social Club has one or two events per month for the Astonished core members and friends. In addition to the Astonished! Dance Project, the Astonished Leadership team works hard to plan a monthly Social Club event that caters to everyone’s recreation and leisure strengths, dreams and needs. Sample events from the past year include a pub night, adult night at the Science Centre, hockey and volleyball games, summer barbecue, an evening in Wascana Park, and a holiday meal together.
Thank you to the City of Regina for a Social Development Grant – Annual Activity to partially support the work of the Astonished! Social Club. In the letter accompanying the grant they wrote “Your program provides supportive, meaningful, and accessible social, recreational, and cultural activities to young adults with complex physical disabilities. The committee acknowledged that your program responds to a great need in community and aligns strongly to the City’s social development priorities.”
We encourage all Core Members to attend the events and to bring their friends. If you are interested in coming to the events or would like to be added to our contact list, visit our Contact page and let us know! Keep current by checking events and dates on the Events calendar.
