Our current LIFE Toronto program is now online with the use of Zoom, a video-chat platform - for free! LIFE Toronto participants are meeting online for fun and useful programming, as well as some virtual socializing. 

Participants will get a weekly schedule every Friday, so please remember to check your emails. Contact Sydney Kovacs at smkovacs@marchofdimes.ca to register and for details on how to access LIFE on Zoom.

We may not be able to get together in person, but we can still get together online!  ​

LIFE Toronto serves young people who have a disability and are making the transition into adulthood. The program provides participants with a learning environment to expand their social and professional skills while practicing the daily responsibilities of adulthood. LIFE Toronto’s goal is to bridge the gap between child and adult services by providing participants with new skills and resources. LIFE Toronto is a combination of Life Skills Workshops, Transit Training, weekly Social & Recreational Outings, and Conductive Education.

 

In conjunction with our sponsors United Way and TD, March of Dimes Canada is offering a ten week LIFE program in Toronto, Ontario. The program is offered four times per year. 

 

Opportunities for real-life application in the community will be encountered during the Social & Recreational Outings. These Outings include trips to Toronto Island, a day bowling, visiting parks, nature hikes, swimming, going to lunch and a movie, participating in organized sports at Variety Village and many others.  

Along with the fun and adventure, you will experience some challenges. Indeed, the very purpose of the program is to help you find untapped resources within yourself and within your group, to help you discover that you are more capable than you know. This is one of the huge benefits of this disability management program for young adults. The complimentary components of the program will foster independence within the individual.
