RECREATION / LEISURE / WELLNESS

We provide a vibrant repertoire of inclusive recreational, leisure, and wellness opportunities where adults of all ages and abilities find friendships and develop and share their gifts. We focus on developing new skills and encouraging self-confidence, well-being, and just having fun. We offer chair yoga, walking club, tai chai, games, bowling, spa and wellness, etc.

LIFE SKILLS DEVELOPMENT

We have an innovative and well-rounded approach to exploring how to live more independently. Through experiential learning participants increase their self-confidence and their capacity to discover their own places of belonging: workplace readiness, cooking, volunteerism, kindness club, reading, gardening, etc.

the ARTS

We offer creative and performance arts programming that focusses on developing the talents and skills of artists with intellectual disabilities: visual arts, culinary arts, theatre arts, music, photography, crafting, etc.

COMMUNITY WEDNESDAYS

Our community gathers together every Wednesday for a program and to share in a community-wide potluck lunch together. Sometimes we celebrate birthdays and L’Arche anniversaries, share our news, comings and goings, and inform one another of what’s happening in our lives, in our community, and around the world. Sometimes we join together to sing, to reflect, and to explore our spirituality together. Sometimes we do fun things like Bingo, Trivia, The Price is Right, etc. or we celebrate a particular special occasion like Thanksgiving, Halloween, Christmas, Valentines, St. Patrick’s Day, etc.

FRIDAY SOCIAL CLUB

Once a month our program space is open as a time of socializing, celebration, and refreshment with various themes and activities from week to week. We sell “tuck shop” items and all profits go to support a L’Arche Community in Honduras.

ROAD TRIP GET-AWAYS

We hit the road once a month for a community field trip. We go to places like: museums, beaches, art galleries, movie theatres, maple syrup camps, etc.
