Rowan Tree Collective

Rowan Tree Collective We are a non-profit programming hub for adults with autism and other neurodiverse folks. We are currently only operating pilot programs with small numbers.

Later this summer we plan to open up intake opportunities for post secondary aged adults who are interested in attending fall programming! The Rowan Tree Collective has 5 main branches of programming:
• Active Citizenship
• Employment and Volunteerism
• Entertainment and Recreation
• Health and Wellness
• Life Skills

Food is such a great connector. Whether we’re preparing food for our in-house lunch program or for our friends and neighbours at the Dew Drop Inn Thunder Bay, the kitchen skills bloom right alongside the friendships! As we move towards October it’s a season of gratitude and we’re feeling it.

Nobody wants to say good bye to a Thunder Bay summer but September, you did not disappoint. We love getting out in our neighborhood and enjoying the fresh air and warm sun before "you know what" comes. The construction on Cumberland is still underway but that doesn't stop us getting to our weekly coffee break at Café Ora. Thanks Jerry for always making us so welcome!

As we move into the last weekend of summer, we’re getting ready to welcome autumn and all of its bounty! This week was Farm Week at the Rowan Tree Collective. And boy do we have a lot of good food options in our region! Our lunch menus made the most of those things this week! Scones made of Brule Creek Farms flour and Thunder Oak Cheese Farm gouda. Vegetable soup and shepherds pie and salad featuring produce from our friends at Belluz Farms and Sleepy G Farm. We put together a full table of produce grown in our own region and had great fun learning about food, where it comes from and even played a little blindfolded food identification game!
If you love having access to good fresh seasonal food, thank a farmer!

“Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.” — Helen Keller

Of course team work is productive, but there are some other perks to working together. At the Rowan Tree Collective we’re building skills and we’re building friendships. Making a couple hundred sandwiches for our neighbours at the Dew Drop Inn Thunder Bay comes easy when you’re surrounded by your smiling crew in a supportive and welcoming space.

So the calendar says September but it sure feels like summer! Over the past few weeks we’ve been using the “lemonade stand” model as part of our Life Skills programming. We’ve been making grocery lists, and doing the math on the cost of ingredients and supplies. We’ve been practising kitchen skills like mixing and measuring. We put our creativity to work and made some signs - no AI here! But the most fun was taking turns to play the part of being the customer and offering the customer service! If you’re in our neighborhood tomorrow afternoon between 2 and 3 stop by with toonie and we’ll include you in the fun. Our lemonistas will be waiting!

And that’s a wrap on August!
We end every month with a birthday celebration and this month Asia (aka Joanna) was our birthday star! Our monthly parties are generously sponsored by The Sarjeant Co Ltd. - they spring for lunch and all the treats and a sweet birthday gift for our members! The monthly karaoke party provides a supportive space for our members to channel their inner pop divas, rock gods and dancing queens!
Roll on September!
