Devonshire Mall has been a monthly favourite for quite some time now. We love it because…

Regular shopping trips provide valuable opportunities for social inclusion, independence, and community engagement. They encourage us to practice life skills such as communication, decision-making, and money management in real-world settings; fostering confidence and a greater sense of belonging.

Art mediums are the materials and techniques artists use to create a work of art, influencing its final appearance and meaning. These can be physical materials like paint, clay, or metal, or broader categories of art like painting, sculpture, printmaking, or digital art. Artists may also combine different mediums in a single piece, known as "mixed media”. Today’s medium? Decoupage. 😎

Mmmm pumpkin pie! 🥧

Learning how to cook offers valuable life skills by promoting independence, self-confidence, and healthier living. It supports daily functioning, enhances decision-making, and provides a sense of accomplishment. Cooking also encourages creativity, improves motor skills, and can be a therapeutic activity that fosters inclusion and social interaction.

Today was ‘Friendsgiving’ at Freedom! It’s now a tradition… ☺️

Creating traditions with friends (like sharing a Thanksgiving meal) helps strengthen bonds, create lasting memories, and provides a sense of continuity and belonging. These shared rituals offer a chance to reconnect, reflect, and celebrate what matters most, deepening friendships over time.

Fun for all ages! Pèpè's Pumpkin Patch
Visiting a local pumpkin patch supports farmers by directly contributing to their livelihood and helping sustain small, family-run farms. It also keeps cherished fall traditions alive, connecting communities to seasonal rhythms and rural heritage. Beyond that, it's a chance to make lasting memories—picking pumpkins, enjoying hayrides, and sharing simple joys with family and friends.

National day for Truth and Reconciliation 🧡

Ojibway Park is located on land that is the traditional territory of the Anishnaabeg people of the Three Fires Confederacy, which includes the Ojibwe, Potawatomi, and Odawa, and is part of the McKee Purchase Treaty 2 of 1790. The city of Windsor acknowledges the land as the traditional territory of these Indigenous peoples, recognizing their historical and ongoing connection to the area.
