Due to extenuating circumstances, we have had to postpone Building Children's Resilience: A Family, School, and Community Approach: An Evening With Dr. Michael Ungar. Please note that it was formerly on Wednesday Sept. 10, 2025 from 6:30-8:30 PM here at Avondale and virtually, but it is now Wednesday, Oct. 1, 2025 from 6:30-8:30PM here at Avondale and via Zoom (a Zoom link will be provided closer to the presentation date for those that need it).
Please email us at eventsavondale@wightman.ca by September 24, 2025, and let us know if you will be joining us here at Avondale or via Zoom to hear Dr. Michael Ungar's not-to-be missed presentation.
We thank you for your continued support and understanding!

Thank you again to Hayloft Music Festival, and Listowel Dairy Queen, for supporting the Centre! If you are at the festival this weekend, be sure to purchase an ice cream treat!

We’re thrilled to welcome Amy Hamilton from Dairy Queen in Listowel to the Hayloft Music Festival! Amy will be on-site serving up the iconic Dilly Bars we all know and love, with all proceeds supporting an incredible cause. The suggested donation is $3.00 per bar, but any contribution is greatly appreciated. All funds raised will go directly to the Huron-Perth Centre for Children and Youth—an accredited, community-based mental health centre that supports children and youth up to age 18. The Centre is dedicated to assessing needs, strengthening�relationships, and building resilience through collaborative care. Grab a Dilly Bar, enjoy the music, and help make a difference!
