There is an emphasis on rhythm to the day.

We have several festivals a year which we work towards with crafts and all the families come and celebrate together. We spend 1-2 hours outside every day regardless of weather and have 3 amazing possibilities; a beach walk, a farm/forest/marsh hike or a rainforest adventure, all 5 minutes from the door. more info

Peer Support

If you’re a resident of Canada, 18 years and older, who has been diagnosed with cancer, or you’re caring for someone with cancer, you can speak over the phone with a trained volunteer who has gone through a similar experience. Our volunteers are specially trained cancer survivors or caregivers with a wide range of cancer experiences and life stories who can share insights and ideas for coping during your cancer experience. You’ll have the chance to talk with a peer who will listen with empathy and respect. And you’ll have an opportunity to gain hope and encouragement by hearing someone else’s story. more info
