Please note that this activity will take place  at Lake Ontario Park. Meeting point will be a picnic table near the Splash Pad or under the Pavillon (if it's raining)!
Military children endure a unique emotional journey when missing a parent/guardian.  This event will offer an opportunity for children to gather alongside their peers in a supervised separate space to engage in an emotionally supportive and resiliency-based activity. It is important to provide them with an opportunity to connect with other children also experiencing absences, in a safe and adult-led environment.  

Adults with or without children are encouraged to take part in peer connection to strengthen their support network within the community while also learning more about absence support and resources. 

This month children and or youth can enjoy the sunshine while discovering Lake Ontario Park, while parents can participate in open conversation. We will be meeting at a located at a picnic table near the Splash Pad or under the Pavillon (if it's raining)!

Parents/guardians will be required to remain onsite with their children for the duration of the evening.
