It's not too late to help! For the whole month of June, every dollar donated to our Great Canadian Giving Challenge campaign counts as a chance for us to us win $10,000!
And just as importantly, every dollar donated helps pay for an unfunded
program expansion
planned for fall of 2018!

Broad strokes: our
Monday and Friday Terry Fox programs are moving to Kimbourne
for the summer because there is construction going on at Gledhill School. Also...we have an
agency-wide closure from July 30th through August 18th
while our staff are on vac-cay, so there will be no programs operating at all during this time.
Here's
a visual of the summer schedule.

Welcome, Karen & Abigail!

|
Thanks to a Canada Summer Jobs grant, we have
Karen and Abigail

Karen, who also worked with us last summer and helps out on Saturdays, is supporting our programs every day in July and the last few weeks of August.

Boots & Bling
gala event this fall!! Email her at

Yes, we're intentionally filling your head with the aroma of freshly baked bread! We're thrilled that

. They're contributing $2000 and sending all gala guests home with a certificate for a complimentary loaf of their delicious bread! Be sure to visit their store on Queen St just west of Kew Gardens, buy some bread or treats and thank them for their support!

Upcoming Parent & Caregiver Survey
|
Later this summer, we’ll be launching a
survey
to gather your input on areas such as: program content, accessibility, opportunities to build relationships with other caregivers & staff and more. As we navigate a number of system transitions as an EarlyON Child & Family Centre, we do expect to be making some changes at the program level, and we want it to be a collaborative process.
|
|
That said, we always welcome your feedback and want to ensure that we are serving the needs of our community, so don’t feel you have to wait until then, let us know your thoughts at
eecc@rogers.com
