We live in a vibrant city that values families and children. Within our communities we support families on many different levels and through a variety of disciplines. This is an opportunity for ALL involved in family
support, early childhood development and care, and other related sectors to weave both our needs and resources into the larger tapestry of community services.
Conference highlights include:
- Canadian author and journalist Linda McQuaig
- Workshops exploring broader issues such as social inclusion, parent advocacy and the affect of public policy on poverty and health
- Facilitators such as: Dr. Susan Bradley, University of Toronto; Dr. Dennis Raphael, York University; Sharron Richards, CAST; Renae Addis, RBC Royal Bank; Amanuel Melles, Family Services Association
