Welcome to the Down Syndrome Association - National Capital Region's web community.

Join us to learn about issues, activities and resources relevant to those with Down syndrome in the Ottawa and surrounding area. Please visit our Forums page where you can ask questions or respond to others, link to other web sites, find out information you need and lots more. But best of all you can develop and strengthen friendships with other members of our association.
