WEST Settlement participants, including Mom & Me program participants and their families, were invited and guided through Windsor’s 134th Birthday Celebration at City Hall, where they had the opportunity to connect with a variety of local community services and resources. Families engaged with organizations such as Windsor Police, Windsor Fire and Rescue Services, Windsor Public Library, and other community partners, strengthening their understanding of available supports in Windsor-Essex. EarlyON was also present at the event and shared free children’s books with families, allowing participants to take home storybooks to support early literacy development and practice English reading skills at home.

This meaningful community experience promoted family engagement, literacy development, and a stronger sense of belonging while helping participants build connections within their new community.

LEAD intake 8 participants tapped into their artistic side and embraced their creativity during a fun and engaging Paint with YouTube workshop! Guided by a step-by-step tutorial, the young women expressed themselves through art while enjoying laughter, conversation, and music that reflected their diverse backgrounds and favourite songs. The session provided a meaningful opportunity to step away from daily routines, practice self-care, and build connections in a supportive environment. It also highlighted the importance of creativity, mindfulness, and stepping outside of one’s comfort zone. At WEST, we are committed to supporting young women in both their personal and professional growth and development, and this workshop was a wonderful reflection of that commitment.✨🫶#LEADProgram #WESTofWindsor #PaintwithYouTube #Creativitymatter #SelfCare ...
