CAN supermom Sherry Saran is at it once again! Her family & community are looking to raise $10k through their annual #AutismAcceptance Month bottle drive! “The reason we do this is because my son Ethan, who’s on the #autism spectrum, excelled very well at CAN. What they do for children and families like us makes a huge difference." If you're in #Langley, save your recyclables and bring them to the School District 35 parking lot on Sat, Apr 6 from 12-3pm!

📢 Canadian Tire Jumpstart Charities & Project Play want to hear from the CAN community! CAN youth (ages 8-18) & their caregivers are invited to complete a 5-min survey about their experiences in sports & rec. The State of Play Youth Survey helps sports & rec leaders nation-wide understand barriers for participation and how to create more equitable access! Canadian Tire Jumpstart has been a vital financial supporter of our programs for nearly a decade. Let's support their efforts! All responses are anonymous. Complete the survey by Mar 31! 👉 rezed.io/1PF39C
