The Vancouver Island Down Syndrome Society (VIDSS) was established in 2019 by a group of concerned parents who wanted to ensure support networks are set up for individuals with Down syndrome. 

The mission of the Vancouver Island Down Syndrome Society is to provide support, information and opportunities for children and adults with Down Syndrome, and their parents, sibblings, and professionals.
