2020 Meet a Machine

 

For the past 5 years, Meet a Machine has provided hours of affordable family fun to Kamloops and surrounding communities.  We’re disappointed to have missed you in 2020.    

Thank you for your past support, and for helping us to contribute much needed funds for type 1 diabetes research.  We are already working on plans to make the next Meet a Machine our best yet!

T1D Community Support

JDRF breaks the barrier of isolation by connecting members of the type 1 diabetes (T1D) community to each other as well as opportunities to improve outcomes for people living with T1D.  Recognizing that diagnosis can take place at any age, and that T1D can impact your life decades after diagnosis, we offer a variety of services and opportunities to engage across the lifetime.

JDRF is grateful to our community partners such as the BC Interior Community Foundation who are supporting JDRF with a grant for our Community Engagement Program.

Resources:

Blog: Information on research, events, activities and news from the T1D community across Canada.  Subscribe to the T1D Insider newsletter.

Bag of Hope: Free bag filled with useful resources for families with newly diagnosed children, and Rufus, the Bear with Diabetes®.

Talk T1D: information on upcoming educational events and community hang outs to help you and your loved ones live well with type 1 diabetes. 

Talk T1D Peer Support:  one-on-one support for people impacted by T1D from trained volunteers who have been there.  Our volunteers understand the challenges of living with T1D and are there to provide emotional support and connect you with resources across Canada.

Toddler-School Age Resources:  articles and downloads to help you with your young T1D child.

Adult Resources: articles and resources for anyone dealing with T1D.
