Children are not just our future, they are our present. And how we, as a community, rise to the needs of our children is representative of the kind of society we live in. At Layla Isaac, we're about bringing communities together around our children. By giving our kids space to play, by creating opportunities for connection between the families in our area, we're creating a vibrant, strong and cari
ng community for all. In the spring of 2016, our community of Fort McMurray and the surrounding Wood Buffalo area experienced intense trauma. The the wild fires that burned through our community forced us out of our homes, and some of us lost everything. But the damage was done to more than just our neighbourhoods. Our community was fractured, and the Layla Isaac Foundation has been founded on the idea that our children are our way back to wholeness. Funded in part by our community partners at the Canadian Red Cross, we're here to provide safe spaces - "softened spaces" - for our kids to play in, and for parents and care-givers to form new connections, new friendships, and a stronger community.
