Good food, new skills, and a meal made together!

What’s on the menu? Overnight oats, fresh fruit salad, and pinwheel sandwiches!
TAY (Transition-Age Youth) Program participants joined Bridges Community Health Centre in Port Colborne for a hands-on cooking class. They prepared fresh ingredients, explored kitchen tools, and learned practical food preparation and safety skills.

The best part? Sitting down together to enjoy what they had prepared! Experiences like this show that making nutritious meals can be simple, enjoyable, and a great way to build everyday independence.

Thank you to Christina, Melissa, and Bridges Community Health Centre for hosting our participants and sharing their knowledge!

Building confidence, independence, and skills for the future!

Through the TAY (Transition-Age Youth) Summer Employment Program, participants took part in weekly G1, Life Skills, and Pre-Employment Readiness classes at the Fort Erie Public Library’s Centennial Branch.

From emotional intelligence, problem-solving, budgeting, and time management to setting SMART goals and preparing for real-world driving situations, these sessions helped youth develop practical skills they can carry into everyday life and future employment.

Beyond learning, the classes also created opportunities for participants to connect, support one another, and build a stronger sense of community.
A big thank you to the Fort Erie Public Library for providing a welcoming space for our youth to learn, grow, and work toward their goals!

Our CLFE office will be closed on Wednesday, September 30 as we observe the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.

This day is an opportunity to listen, learn, reflect and acknowledge the history and ongoing impacts of residential schools and the experiences of First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples in Canada.

If you are looking for a way to honour the day, the is hosting an Every Child Matters Community Engagement event on September 30 from 10:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. at 796 Buffalo Road, Fort Erie. The event includes opening remarks, a flag raising, wreath laying ceremony, community lunch and Haudenosaunee Social. All community members are welcome.

For those unable to attend, you can also honour the day by:

• Learning about the history and legacy of residential schools
• Listening to Indigenous voices, stories and teachings
• Visiting the National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation’s resources
• Reading the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s Calls to Action
• Supporting local Indigenous organizations and businesses
• Taking time to reflect on what truth and reconciliation can look like in your own community and workplace

We encourage everyone to approach the day with respect, openness and a willingness to learn.

Every Child Matters.
