The CTN 2017-18 Annual Report is Here
The theme of Growing Together seems most appropriate as we mark our  13th year as an organization, finalize our next four-year strategic plan, and  embark on new areas of support while still committing to provide excellent core  services to children and youth with multiple special needs

 

CTN's "Try-A-Bike" Event was a huge Success
The Barrie Try-A-Bike event offered kids and youth with special needs an opportunity to try out a bike and give parents some ideas about what bike they may want to purchase in the future. Click to learn about how you can borrow a bike this summer.
