🌳☀️ Dufferin Picnic in the Park! 🍕

Yesterday, our Dufferin Services Team brought the SHIP community together for its annual Dufferin Picnic in the Park!

Clients, staff, family members and friends gathered to enjoy the summer sunshine, share some laughs, enjoy some delicious food and, most importantly, spend time together as a community. 💙

A huge thank you to everyone who came out and helped make the day such a wonderful celebration! Events like this are a great reminder of the connections, friendships and sense of community that make SHIP so special.

A special thank you as well to Toppers Pizza Orangeville for supporting our picnic with a generous discount on our pizzas. Your contribution helped make the day a little more delicious for everyone! 🍕

And of course, thank you to our fantastic Dufferin Services Team for organizing the event and to everyone who helped make it possible.

Here’s to summer, community and plenty more opportunities to come together! 🌞💙

International Self-Care Day | July 24

Self-care looks different for everyone.

It can mean taking time to rest, connecting with someone you trust, caring for your mental health, or reaching out for support when you need it.

Small steps can make a difference, and you don’t have to navigate challenges alone.

At HART Hub Dufferin, connection to services starts here.
