Five Counties Children’s Centre’s second annual Spring into Learning event takes place Saturday, May 2, from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m. at the centre, located at 872 Dutton Rd.

This free event will focus of helping attendees to “rethink disability.” It would be of interest, not just to Five Counties families, but to anyone who supports or interacts with someone with disabilities, as well as those who want to learn more about what it is like to live with a disability. 

“We had wonderful response to our first-ever Spring into Learning last year, that focused on seeing the ability, not disability in every person,” said Hayley Hodges, event organizer and Client and Family Engagement Lead at Five Counties. “This year’s theme focuses on how we can rethink disability and see resiliency in individuals who overcome challenges and achieve new things with their different abilities. This year, there will also be special emphasis on the vital role of caregivers and how they can be better supported in their work supporting individuals with a disability.”
