Learn. Develop. SEED!

We’re so proud of how much all of our learners have grown and learned this year!

We’re inviting our learners to celebrate their hard work by growing something else amazing this summer!

Each learner will receive a small packet of local wildflower seeds. Please plant them in a safe spot, give them some love, and watch them grow! The seeds are for various wildflower varieties that are native to the BC region and they are from OhCanadaSeeds.ca.

We hope to welcome our learners back over summer, and/or in September.

Please watch for an invite to our September Proudly Neurodivergent celebration and community mural launch! We’re working to reframe back-to-school and September for neurodivergent learners, making this a time of year to celebrate neurodiversity!
