Join us November 4th for a day of learning, connection, and inspiration centered on this year's theme: Right To Read.
About this Event

Celebrating 29 Years of Collaboration, Learning, and Inclusion

See Me Beautiful is one of Manitoba's most cherished gatherings for anyone who plays a role in the educational journey of a student with Down syndrome. For nearly three decades, this conference has brought parents, teachers, and educational assistants together to share strategies, build connections, and strengthen the support around every student.

This year's theme — Right to Read — puts literacy at the centre. Together, we'll explore how to champion meaningful reading access, inclusion, and the joy of learning for every student.
