Client Testimonials

• The program was great and very supportive. I really liked the gardening session and the workshops with the UofT Students.

• The client expressed that everything was very helpful. Especially the workshop with CRA (Tax and benefit). The client informed that when he started the program, he was very depressed and did not know how to cope but now is able to to do so with all the help and techniques provided through the program.

• I found the program very refreshing. It felt very therapeutic. It taught me information I didn't know before about access to the community and how to get things and places to contact for help. So it was very helpful, thank you. Say thank you to everyone for me. I feel like the people in your organization care about what they are doing
