A bushel of fun on the farm 🍎🍂

Last week, more than two dozen Niagara Children’s Centre families enjoyed a fall adventure at Silmaril Farm in Grimsby! We loved the accessible apple-picking experience that made it possible for everyone to take part in the autumn fun.

Joining the group was our new Recreation Therapy Assistant, Heather, whose role was made possible through the generous support of the David Howes Grant from the Niagara Community Foundation.
