We were proud to celebrate 50 years of support, achievements, and progress at Kerry’s Place and in the Autism sector! Advocacy Day 2024 brought together key Members of the Provincial Parliament, and community members to raise awareness about the ongoing need for services that enhance the quality of life for Autistic children, youth, adults, and their families. Our event opened with welcome remarks from our CEO and President, Dr. Susan Coke, followed by inspiring speeches from MPPs Michael Parsa, Hon. Monique Taylor, John Fraser, and Aislinn Clancy. Lise Lareau, Chair of our Family Advisory Committee, and Jan Stewart, Chair of the Board of Directors, also shared heartfelt reflections on their journeys with Kerry’s Place. The ASD Band also joined us, adding a beautiful note to the evening. We are incredibly grateful to all who joined us, including the influential voices helping us drive our mission forward. A special thank you to our event planning committee and the amazing Kerry’s Place staff who made this milestone celebration possible. #AdvocacyDay2024 #KerrysPlace50 #AutismSupport #QueensPark #AutismCommunity #OAP

For many families, caring for an Autistic child, youth, or adult can feel isolating. Your events spark important conversations that foster more inclusive and compassionate communities. This summer was filled with fun events, across our communities that have required a lot of thought to plan and many hands to be successful. Thank you for mobilizing a network of passionate individuals to support Autism Services at Kerry’s Place.

Today on National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, we honour the lost children and survivors of residential schools, their families, and their communities. On this day of reflection, Kerry’s Place stands with Indigenous communities recognizing the impact caused by historical injustices. We encourage everyone to listen, learn, and take meaningful steps towards reconciliation as we work towards building a more inclusive society. Together, we can build a future rooted in respect and understanding.🧡 #TruthAndReconciliation #EveryChildMatters #KerrysPlace #IndigenousRights #InclusiveCommunity #NDTR #OrangeShirtDay
