Summer In the Sun: Amiera Black
The summer of 2024 was a busy one for Amiera Black, a grade 12 student at St. Michael’s Catholic Secondary School in Stratford.
Spotlight: Matt Phillips
As a network, we want to promote and celebrate champions of inclusion who make our communities inclusive spaces for people of all abilities. In this edition, we are featuring Matt Phillips, Kitchen Manager at Montana’s Restaurant in Stratford.
Connect With Our Community
Being in places and spaces where our community naturally thrives is a great way to build relationships. Our team of families have put together a LIVE community calendar to help your family get connected and have fun doing it! Check back frequently as this calendar is constantly being updated as we become aware of new events.
