What’s in the bag? 👀✋
Participants put their sense of touch to the test by feeling an object hidden in a bag and guessing what it was. Lots of laughs, surprised reactions, and learning along the way. Hands-on experiences really do bring learning to life!

Today we explored how our sense of sight helps us learn and grow through a Rorschach inkblot activity. Participants took turns sharing what they saw, sparking thoughtful observations and discussion. When Brian M described the image below as a motorcycle, we all saw it too, showing how perspective can shape understanding. This experience led to great interpretations, curiosity, and meaningful conversation about how we all see the world differently.

Today we stopped at Indigo to do some book browsing. Literacy skills matter at every stage of life. For people with intellectual disabilities, keeping reading, writing, and communication skills sharp supports independence, confidence, and inclusion. When we practice literacy regularly, we open doors to choice, self-advocacy, and meaningful connection. Everyone deserves the tools to learn, grow, and be heard. 📚

Today’s sensory challenge had participants smelling different cups of tea and decoding which aroma belonged to which brew. Some were easy, some were tricky, but all sparked curiosity and conversation. It was also a good reminder of how closely memory, intuition, and our senses are connected. Would you trust your nose to get them right?

We talk a lot about Tim Hortons runs, music therapy, and bowling days dont we? The real story though, isn’t about the hot chocolate, the songs, or the strikes. It’s the smiles when someone orders independently, the confidence that grows with every lyric sung, and the high-fives after a roll down the lane. These everyday moments are where independence, connection, and joy quietly show up. 😊

🌟 The Power of Our Senses 🌟

Everyone experiences the world in their own unique way. By recognizing and supporting different sensory needs, we can create spaces that promote learning, independence, and meaningful participation for all. When we honour how individuals use their senses, we empower them to navigate daily life with confidence and dignity.

This month, we will be investigating how our senses hold an important role in how we learn, communicate, and move through our daily lives. Sight, sound, touch, smell, taste, body awareness, and movement all provide valuable information that helps us understand our environment and feel safe, regulated, and connected. This week, we focused on sound. 😊

Gloomy day? Don’t let the clouds win ☁️⚽️
Getting outside and doing something active (like playing a game of soccer) can instantly boost your mood, shake off stress, and give you energy you didn’t know you had. Fresh air, movement, and a few laughs go a long way, even when the sky is gray. Sometimes the best way to beat a gloomy day is to play right through it!

The New Year isn’t just about turning the page—it’s about sharing/speaking our story. Sharing our traditions honors what grounds us. Naming our gratitudes gives meaning to everything the past year taught us. Declaring our resolutions turns quiet hopes into real commitments. When we share these with friends, we create accountability, deepen connection, and remind each other that none of us is walking forward alone. This is how growth happens—together. Step into the new year with intention, gratitude, and community. ✨ In 2026…
Brian wants to shop more.
Chris wants to learn something new.
Nick wants to do more math. ❤️

Just the gals today so they took the lead! We made adorable ornaments, added some pictures and stickers to our welcome board, listened to Christmas music, watched ‘A Charlie Brown Christmas’ and ‘Frosty the Snowman’, played Christmas bingo, and ate a yummy pasta lunch! (Thank you Darlene and Jay!)
