Eppleworth Adult Centre
Who We Are/Our Mission
We offer a kind, family-oriented environment, with positive, educational, and fun day program activities to adults with special needs. Our day program consists of groups throughout the day from Monday to Friday. These groups include literacy, science, math, cooking and grocery shopping, fitness, music, drama, art, dance instruction, karate, and much more!

Eppleworth affords our participants opportunities to learn, interact with others and their community, and work on goals that are meaningful to them and their independence. Through our partnership with The City in supporting local bingo halls, we have been able to enhance our program in the following ways:
-Have a weekly grocery shopping and cooking group which is very popular among participants!
-Attend a yearly overnight camping trip to The Shadow Lake Centre
-In 2024 we will be able to attend the CNIB Lake St. Joseph camping experience.
-We now have an enhanced drama program where we can purchase beautiful costumes that support our performances.
-We have been able to purchase iPads to support independent learning.
-We attend a fitness centre every week with a yearly membership.
-We can have vendors come onsite for programming which includes instructional dance, karate, and art.
This invaluable support to our program has helped our participants grow physically, mentally, and emotionally.
