Adult Day Program Virtual Club
Our Adult Day Programs will resume modified in-person services as of Monday, July 5th, 2021 pending provincial restrictions. We will still continue to offer our popular virtual programming for those that don’t feel comfortable returning just yet.
Here are some great ideas you can do at home!
Feel free to chose what is appropriate for you and your family member.
