Do you want to know about the programs and services offered for kids, youth and young adults with disabilities in York Region? Then join CTN and the City of Richmond Hill for our Inclusive Information Fair at Langstaff Community Centre. Drop-in from 12 to 3 p.m. to see over 50 public and private vendors and community organizations who specialize in programs, services and equipment for kids and youth with disabilities and developmental needs. This event is free to the public and no registration is required. This is one-stop for information and resources including funding, private therapy services, transition to school and adult services, recreation programs, respite and community support for families. CTN supports kids, youth and families by focusing on CanChild's framework of the F-words for Child Development. Every child with varying abilities has the right to have fun, enjoy friends, function as they are, access fitness, plan for their future and join in family activites. Top 10 Reasons to Attend the Inclusive Information Fair on September 23:
