The OSNS Child and Youth Development Centre opened in 1978. It is located at 103-550 Carmi Ave. in Penticton.

With May recognized as Leave a Legacy Month in Canada, the Okanagan Similkameen Neurological Society (OSNS) Child and Youth Development Centre is inviting community members to help make a lasting impact on kids across the region.

The OSNS Legacy Foundation, which ensures the Penticton-based non-profit organization can continue to deliver its services to kids with developmental challenges, is accepting legacy gifts in recognition of the nationwide campaign.

Such gifts, according to a press release shared by OSNS, include:

Ïã½¶ÊÓÆµÖ±²¥¢ Naming the OSNS Legacy Foundation in your will or estate plan;
Ïã½¶ÊÓÆµÖ±²¥¢ Designating the OSNS Legacy Foundation as a beneficiary of an RRSP, RRIF, or life insurance policy;
Ïã½¶ÊÓÆµÖ±²¥¢ Donating securities: stocks, shares or bonds

Leave a Legacy Month is an annual initiative that serves as a "reminder that we all have the power to create lasting change," OSNS added in its press release.

"By including a charitable gift in your estate plans, you ensure that your values and generosity live on."

Leaving a gift will help ensure youth across the South Okanagan and Similkameen continue to receive treatment and developmental support for years to come, the centre said.

OSNS, which opened in 1978, is located at 103-550 Carmi Ave. in Penticton. Physiotherapy, occupational therapy, psychology, speech therapy, behaviour support, family support, and autism intervention are among the services offered.

To learn more about planned giving and how to support future generations of children, people are asked to contact Megan Windeler at megan.windeler@osns.org or visit
