Fabulous Day

I'm so pumped. I went to a conference at the Creative Spirit Centre in Toronto. People from various art based programmes came together to share what they are doing. There were only about 15 of us there, but wow! So many neat things are happening across the country. I was particularly interested in H'art School of Smiles. They have been doing a fabulous programme that links life skills, literacy and computer literacy skills with art. Another programme they run is a prep school to help people with intellectual disabilities develop skills to help them attend university or college. My mind is bubbling with the possibilities that such a programme could facilitate in my community! I can't wait until tomorrow's sessions!
