upon tons of snow storms. I really think everyone should apply for this job because it is really fun and very awesome. I feel very proud of myself because this is a one of a kind job. It's important to keep all kids safe when crossing the road. Here is my quote of the day...

Today, we celebrate National Indigenous Peoples Day, an annual event on the summer solstice dedicated to honoring the diverse cultures, teachings, and heritage of the First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples.
As we recognize this significant day, we express our deep gratitude for the privilege to work and engage with our autism community on Turtle Island. We are committed to fostering an environment of respect, learning, and support for Indigenous histories and cultures.
Let’s continue to educate ourselves, listen to Indigenous voices, and support their communities in meaningful ways.

Watch this short recap video to see all the fun we had at the Jake’s House Peel Safety Village Workshop!
#autismsupport #workshop #jakeshousecharity
Jake's House hosted the Peel Police Safety Village Workshop, and participants had the opportunity to learn from Officer Toni of the Peel Police about personal safety, including boundaries and support systems, as well as pedestrian safety, such as rules of the road and...
...understanding signs.
After the presentation, everyone put their Pedestrian Safety knowledge to the test and explored the interactive Safety Village (with some professional drivers roaming around).
Join us for two Special Guest Workshops in our Legends Mentoring Program this weekend!

Enjoy some big smiles from Jake's House Community Residences this past week, both at the home and out in the community!
Bowling, Stars on Ice, the Rec Room, Book Store runs, and horse grooming, were some of the many community outings we enjoyed!

In my first year of university, Oliver Tang and I started the club Big Spoon Lil’ Spoon @UWaterloo, from a love for cooking and inspired by our work with @Jakes_House in high school. Here is a picture of our first BSLS bake sale as a young club!
Ensuring parents feel supported and providing them with a platform to share their thoughts and gain insights is essential.
Our Parent Connection Workshop offers a warm and welcoming space designed for families like you.
