Celebrating our Staff on the Front-Lines |
|
We would like to thank our staff for their hard work and dedication through all of the challenges presented by the pandemic. Your dedication, perseverance and creativity have had a huge impact on the people we serve, and nobody should underestimate all that you do to support them - both in the everyday and in helping to make their dreams to come true. You bring your spirit, energy and, yes, joy with you every day to the front-lines. Thank you for all that you do!
Although special days and weeks are set aside to celebrate and acknowledge support workers, our staff do great things every single day. They change lives and help make dreams come true!

Of course, we must not forget CLTH staff who are behind the lines! Staff at our administrative offices have also been working incredibly hard to juggle their everyday responsibilities along with the challenges and chaos courtesy of the Covid-19.
Working miracles at the best of times, our Administrative Professionals have come up with incredibly creative ways to support the front-lines while also making sure that those proverbial i's are dotted and t's are crossed. Thank you for your Herculean efforts, and for helping us all to have a little bit of fun despite the stress and uncertainty of these times. We couldn't do it without you!

Positive Vibe's Sunflower Contest
Thank you to everyone who participated in this summer's sunflower contest, hosted by the Positive Vibes Committee.
Sunflowers of all shapes and sizes were grown from pot to garden this year despite chipmunks, squirrels, bunnies, and in some cases, deer looking for a snack.
Great gardening sports all around, thanks for taking part.

Celebrating Walkabout Farm |

It would be hard to find anywhere else that brings about more smiles and warm fuzzies than Walkabout Farm Therapeutic Riding Association. So in recognition the fun we have had and the many things that we have learned at Walkabout, we would like to pay tribute to to them with this great photo collage. Thank you to all of the teachers at Walkabout, both two - and four-legged! (Check out their videos here.) |
