Due to the incoming storm, our clinic will be closed to help keep our staff and families safe.

Most of our team will still be working from home, and we’ll be in touch with anyone who has an appointment scheduled.

Thank you for understanding, and please stay safe out there. ❄️

When we try to schedule a meeting on Friday the 13th before March Break...

The agenda said “meeting,”
but sleep had its say,
and suddenly snoozing took over the day.

From couches to tables
our clinicians agree:
good sleep helps brains learn, grow, and be free.

So tonight when bedtime comes into view,
remember that rest helps bright kids shine through.

Happy World Sleep Day from the Bright Spot Team! 💛💤

It’s another snow day!
Our clinicians WILL be travelling to schools today.
Reminder: typically when it is a snow day, if your child's clinician feels safe to drive, they will still go to schools to see your child and we will provide an indirect to students that are not at school in lieu of sessions.
Aren't sure of the plan for your child?
Feel free to email your child's clinician or call the office to discuss the plan.
Please travel safe today! ❄️

What if you had to connect without using your voice?

On May 22, we’re inviting our community to experience communication in a different way.

Join us for Something to Say, a silent lunch experience where guests will use communication tools and AAC to interact throughout the event. It’s a small glimpse into the world many of the children and families we support navigate every day.

All proceeds from the lunch will fund therapy scholarships for local children, helping make speech, occupational, and counselling services more accessible in our community.

You can purchase tickets through the event page or by scanning the QR code on the poster.

We can’t wait to share this meaningful (and very unique) lunch experience with our community.

Help! My owner left without me and took someone else’s boots home!
If you wore boots similar to these home not realizing that they weren’t yours - please reach out so we can make sure we can swap out the boots and get them to their rightful owner.

Today our team from Timmins all the way to Neskantaga are wearing pink, not just as a colour, but as a commitment.

Pink Shirt Day is about more than anti-bullying slogans.
It’s about how we show up everyday.

• We choose kindness.
• We choose inclusion.
• We choose to make space for every voice.
• We choose to stand beside kids, especially when it’s hard.

To every child who has ever felt different, left out, or misunderstood:
You belong here.

Be bright.
Even when it feels easier to shrink.

Last chance to donate to your favourite staff member!

The Bright Spot team will be walking this Saturday for Coldest Night of the Year 🧡

Because everyone deserves warmth.
A warm meal.
A warm place to land.
A warm community.

We’ll also have a little activity booth inside with cozy crafts and kindness activities, come say hi and help us make our community a little warmer. ❄️✨

❄️ Coldest Night of the Year ❄️

We're joining for the 9th Annual Fundraiser as we come together to walk, raise awareness, and support our neighbors facing food insecurity.
Every step helps make a difference. Let’s show what our community can do when we walk together!

We will be having a staff challenge again to see who can raise the most money! The staff member who raises the MOST amount of money will be completing the walk dressed as a giant sun, and the one who raises the LEAST will get pied in the face by the giant sun!

Click here, select your the staff member you'd like to donate too and let's see who wins! 🌞🥧
