Christmas Party - December 22, 2013

Gifted People Services received a generous toy donation from City of Toronto’s Firefighter Toy Drive. We were able to share the joy and see smiles on our children’s faces. Santa came to our party again. Our kids had a passport that they need to get stamped by completing various activities in different rooms in order to get their prizes and gifts. We also had a mini talent show that included dancing, singing, playing piano, and the flute! After food, kids enjoyed a game called, “Carrying your animal across a river”. 156 people attended this event.

Strawberry Picking and Picnic - July 27, 2013

We took the families out for a day of strawberry picking at Whitmore Farm on Steeles. Both parents and children had a good time picking delicious strawberries to take back home. It was a beautiful day to be outside and just enjoy each other’s company. After the picking we went and had a wonderful picnic at Milliken Park in Scarborough. Kids were playing in the water park and on the slides and the swings.

Summer Trip 2013

We took parents and their children on a fun boat ride over the summer in Port Perry! The views were beautiful, and many children had their first ever boat trip! Parents brought along some fishing rods and they even got to go fishing as well.
