In the LIFE Toronto program, participants are given many opportunities to build upon their skills, learn new ones and challenge themselves all while having fun! LIFE Toronto has so much to offer, but the greatest reward has to be making new friends. Program participants, instructors and volunteers enjoy meaningful time together and form strong bonds. In the last LIFE session we took the time to write a song about our experiences to the tune ‘It’s a Wonderful World.’ Take a look at our music video that commemorates our times together!

It is safe to say we are all excited for the next session to start and thrilled to be reunited soon. Our next ten week LIFE session will begin February 10, 2014 and the good news is there are still some spots available. We are looking for youths aged 18-30 with a physical disability who are making the transition into adulthood. You are invited to apply for the full five day/week program or sign up for the components that interest you. Components include: Life Skills Workshops, TTC Training, social outings, recreational activities and Conductive Education.
