Thank you Risa E and for providing soil, fertilizer and mulch for our community garden. Our Meadowvale Day Program members will get a lot of joy growing and tending vegetables and flowers throughout the gardening season.

Throughout the pandemic, some of our day program members have been receiving personalized concerts from the musicians at the Toronto Symphony Orchestra. After 18 months of virtual visits, we were excited to host Kelly Zimba on flute and Clare Semes on violin to our Brampton site last week.

We would like to thank our partners at the Toronto Symphony Orchestra for their beautiful visit.
