The Centre for Dreams

⛳️ A day on the green! 💙

We kicked off our new programming with a fun community outing to Timber Creek for a round of mini putt! 🏌️‍♀️🏌️‍♂️

Our members had the chance to practice social skills, take turns, connect with others, and participate in the community, all while enjoying some friendly competition and plenty of fun on the course!

It was a great way to get our new programming started and make some new memories together. ⛳️✨

🎂 Happy Birthday to all of our August birthdays! 🎉

We’re celebrating all of our wonderful Centre for Dreams members and staff who have a birthday this month.

We hope your birthday month is filled with good times, great memories, and plenty of reasons to smile. 💙

Thank you to Mayor Frank Scarpitti and City of Markham for gifting us with tickets to the Ontario Honda Dealers Indy at Markham. Miles, a member in our youth program and his family, as well as Elijah who attended our summer camp, enjoyed watching the race!

☀️ Summer at the Centre for Dreams has been busy!

Our members have been making the most of summer programming with plenty of opportunities to have fun, try new things, build skills, and spend time together.

From themed activities and Sports Week to Disney and Animation Week and plenty of fun games, there has been something for everyone.

Summer programming gives our members the chance to stay active, connect with friends, explore new interests, and enjoy new experiences together.

And there’s still plenty more summer fun ahead!
