Imagine trying to make therapeutic progress when you don’t feel safe. It’s almost impossible.

Making a child feel safe in therapy is the key to any future success. When they feel secure, they open up, trust builds, and therapy begins. Rushing the process won’t work—safety comes first, always. Take the time to create a space where they feel seen, heard, and protected, because connection grows where safety exists.

Every child deserves to be seen and supported. If your child has been excluded from school opportunities, we want to hear your story. By sharing your experience, you help us advocate for a future where every student truly belongs.

PSA for those travelling from Windsor direction, taking Exit 8 ⚠️

UPDATE: Mount Denson Bridge
Engineers have assessed and are estimating a minimum of one month closure to complete repairs. No traffic permitted across bridge until repairs are made. Permanent closure barricades enroute. We ask that the public avoid the area and stay completely away from bridge structure. (Source: Paul Maynard; Hantsport Fire)

Bridge considered "collapsing, weak structural integrity, and generally unsafe" on Highway 1 in Mount Denson over the Halfway River — the bridge coming into Hantsport.

Highway 1 is currently impassable, due to the closure — use Highway 101 to Ben Jackson, or Bog Road.

Public Works advising this bridge will be closed for an "extended period of time." Long term outage.
