On June 8, 2016, Lawson’s Children respite held their first ever open house.  The evening gave families and community partners an opportunity to find out about the Lawson Respite program, the Sensory Room project, meet program staff and ask questions. We also unveiled our new apartment names: Discovery Cove (ages 2-8), Treasure Island (ages 9-13) and Adventure Planet (ages 14-17).

The turnout was great with many families letting us know that they appreciated the Open House as they were unaware that the program existed! We would like to take this opportunity to thank those who were able to attend and also the Lawson staff team for a job well done!

For any information about the Lawson Children’s Respite program, please call Lynette Annaert, Program Supervisor at 647-729-1639 or email at lynette.annaert@cltoronto.ca

The Lawson Team is ready for the open house.
