40TH ANNIVERSARY

We are excited to celebrate Friends & Advocates Peel's 40th Anniversary on September 16th! Join us as we commemorate four decades of connection, support, and community.


Stay tuned for more information about this special celebration—additional details will be shared in the September NAP.

SHARE YOUR SKILLS &
INSPIRE OTHERS

Do you have a hobby, talent, or skill you'd love to share with others? Whether it's crafting, painting, photography, cooking, gardening, music, technology tips, fitness, or another interest, we'd love to hear from you!


Starting in August, we're inviting clients to partner with their service
area staff to lead an activity or presentation—either in person or on
Zoom. It's a great opportunity to connect with others, build confidence, and share something you're passionate about.

If you're interested in leading or co-facilitating an activity, please speak with your service area staff. We look forward to learning from you and celebrating the unique skills within our F&A community!
