More about the Simcoe Special Olympics Team:
Our own Shirley Shaw is the Community Coordinator and Head Coach for the Simcoe Special Olympics. Simcoe Special Olympics has a swim team of forty swimmers and ten coaches and are very dedicated and determined. Twelve swimmers qualified and are going to Provincial Games in Waterloo (Date to be announced). They have to raise $200.00 per athlete to go. They do fundraisers when they can, and we are so happy to support these athletes through our Outreach giving.

Wanted - Virtual Visitors

This time of isolation and uncertainty is very difficult for adults with a developmental disability. Many people would really benefit from having someone to connect with. This could be as simple as a chat about common interests a couple of times a week or using an app to play games or read books. Contact Jim Dawson for more details

Community Announcement - Indwell
Join Indwell communities across southern Ontario on Friday, June 12 for an informative, fun virtual gala from 7:30 – 9:00 pm. You’ll catch a glimpse into our current and upcoming affordable housing communities as we travel together across southern Ontario. Register at indwell.ca by this Wednesday, May 27 to receive a special package before our event.

Indwell is the organization that renovated Hambleton Hall for affordable housing and are now working on the old Norfolk Inn (now to be called the Dogwood Inn)
