Sponsors like JB's Restaurant help make our events possible, and their generosity helps us continue creating meaningful opportunities and connections for the people we support. 👏

We can't wait to see everyone at our 2026 Bowl-a-Thon this Sunday, June 7th at Fleetway London! 🎳 Doors open at 11:30 am, and we're looking forward to a fun-filled day of bowling, community, and celebration together.

This week is National AccessAbility Week, a time to recognize the importance of accessibility and how it helps create stronger, more inclusive communities 🌟

This year's theme, "Building a Strong, Accessible Canada," reminds us that accessibility benefits us all. Whether it's physical spaces, communication, technology, transportation, or community participation, accessibility helps ensure everyone can fully engage, contribute, and belong.

Building accessible communities isn't just about meeting standards, it's about creating environments where people feel welcomed, valued, and included.

As we celebrate this week, let's continue learning, listening, and working together to remove barriers and create opportunities that make our communities stronger for everyone 💙

Here's to sunny days and fresh air! 💚☀️

Ryan got out on the water for the first time this season at Fanshawe Conservation Area.☀️🌊

The weather was great, the water was calm, and it was the perfect way to enjoy a warm day!

Last night was such a special evening as we gathered to celebrate Ann Cross at the inaugural PHSS Foundation Laudables East in Ottawa ✨

Surrounded by friends, family, community partners, and so many familiar faces, the night was filled with meaningful conversations and heartfelt moments. It was wonderful to recognize Ann’s incredible generosity and the impact she continues to have on our community through her kindness, leadership, and unwavering support of others.

We’re so grateful to everyone who joined us and helped make the evening so memorable. Thank you for being part of a night that truly reflected the spirit of community and connection 💙

To all those celebrating Eid al-Adha, wishing you a day filled with peace, love, and meaningful moments with family and friends. 🌙

May this special occasion bring reflection, gratitude, and blessings to you and your loved ones.

Eid Mubarak. ✨

Scott has been getting some decorations ready for tomorrow night’s Laudables East event as we come together to honour Ann Cross 💙

Ann’s generosity, leadership, and commitment to community have made such a lasting impact, and we are so excited to celebrate her tomorrow evening at the Canadian Museum of Nature alongside so many amazing friends, family, partners, and community members.

We can’t wait to see everyone tomorrow night! ✨

Today, our Assistant Coordinators, Coordinators, and Senior Coordinators came together for Leadership Day, a day focused on continual learning, collaboration, and professional growth.

Throughout the day, the teams participated in presentations and discussions on important topics including our DEI initiatives, medication process updates, budgeting, the International Conference on Integrated Care 2026, and MBTI: Building Stronger Connections. We were also grateful to welcome Katherine Gallinger, Professor & Placement Coordinator in the DSW Program at Fanshawe College, who shared valuable insights on student placements and strengthening future partnerships.

At PHSS, we believe investing in ongoing training and development strengthens not only our leadership teams, but the quality of support we provide every day. Opportunities like Leadership Day allow us to learn from one another, build stronger connections, and continue growing together as an organization.

Thank you to everyone who contributed to making today a meaningful and engaging experience!

🏁 Community Place North Men's Group had the chance to check out Delaware Speedway and get a behind-the-scenes look at the racing world 🏎️

They got to hear the engines roaring, check out the equipment up close, learn about the cars, and watch a pit stop in action.

The group also got the chance to take a couple laps around the track in the wheelchair accessible vans during slow time, giving everyone the opportunity to experience the track from a whole new view!

Huge thank you to Patrick Brothers Racing for taking the time to show everyone how it’s done!
