| Summertime is almost here which means our team is getting even busier! Our team of staff and volunteers were at Hats Off Day last weekend, and we saw so many neighbours and community members having fun at this annual event. Our Preschool and SACC staff are gearing up for the summer camps, and our community team is planning the Street Parties in July and August. A heartfelt thank you to United Way, who continues to fund our School's Out Friendship Club Program, enabling us to create safe, fun and inclusive spaces for children in our community. Let's see what's happening this month! |
