  • An evaluation of The Adventure Club, a pilot program this past summer offered by the Family Connection Centre as a child development outdoor play program that also served as a short-term childcare alternative
  • A debrief on the wildfire emergency preparedness exercise held last June to test and practice our emergency plans and build relationships necessary for any large-scale emergency response
