These events are perfect from those that know a thing or two about disabilities and the importance of programs similar to those provided by Entrust, and also for those who are eager to learn more and meet some new friends.
If you are interested in stopping by one of our events and wondering if there will be one in your neighbourhood this summer, please give us a call or drop us a line and we would be happy to fill you in on the details.
