Our Community Program is a Day Service that includes structured lifeskills-based programs and planned community outings. There is a focus placed on using public transportation and navigating the community safely while having fun!

​

This service is offered five days a week.

Mondays out of St. John's Hall in Oshawa.

Tuesdays out of the Centennial Building in Whitby.

Wednesdays out of St. John's Hall in Oshawa.

Thursdays out of Lake Vista Community Centre in Oshawa.

Fridays out of the McLean Community Centre in Ajax.

 

The Community Program aims to provide a link between individuals with disabilities and their community. The small group setting ensures the opportunity for friendship and connection.

​

Hours of Operation 9 am - 4 pm​

The Community Program runs in 3-month long sessions. Attendees can automatically enroll in the following session.

​

Interested members can contact us to learn more about joining in on the fun!

Connection and Friendship

​The Community Program was developed to support individuals seeking Day Services and to help bridge the gap between our members and their community.

​

Our first pilot session ran from September 2023 - May 2024 and supported eight individuals on Tuesdays and Thursdays.​

Thank you to the Town of Whitby for their donation of a home base for our Tuesday group and to the Town of Ajax for their donation of a home base for our Friday group.

Without this support, we could not offer the services that we do!
