Garden Passions

Spring took its time coming this year, which meant that once the weather allowed the gardening work to begin, it began in earnest. Everywhere we turn we see gardens and flowers popping up. Here are a few photos from across our locations, including from our Community Homes.

And speaking of gardens, be sure to check out the Edwin Binney's Community Garden on the United Way for the City of Kawartha Lakes website. Scroll all the way down on this page to see the 'work in progress' photos of the gardens being prepared. Incredible photos; volunteers have put in a tremendous amount of work.

If you are interested in guiding our agency forward – to help people as they develop their ability to live, learn, work and take part in an inclusive community life – please consider joining our volunteer Board of Directors.

Engagement Announced!

This is the story that Mackenzie and Vanessa wrote for us to publish:

“We met on March 1, 2017 and that’s when we fell in love with each other. We dated for a year and got engaged on Christmas day 2018. Two months ago we celebrated our 2 year anniversary. We are getting married on October 3rd, 2020!”

Drivers License, Check!

A young man’s hard work and commitment paid off when he reached his goal of achieving his G1 license. After months of study and review with Building Bridges and Foundations staff - in addition to using an online studying app - he passed the written test. Congratulations!
