New programs
We partnered with the local neighbourhood association to run a tots program that provides caregivers and their small children a place to meet weekly for play and fellowship. We started an inclusive social group for adults. The program is open to anyone who wants to socialize with their adult peers but is primarily targeted for those with developmental disabilities differing gender identities or any other differences that make it difficult to socialize in other settings.
