Community Connections Event

CAPC York Region has partnered with Teston Village Public School to host a Community Connections Event for families and caregivers of children birth to 13 years of age on Tuesday, May 6th, 2025.  This evening event aims to provide families with a one-stop-shop where they can connect with local agencies, city organizations, and partner groups to access vital resources and support. We have 20 confirmed vendors and by bringing these services directly to the school, we hope to bridge any possible gaps and strengthen the connection between families and the resources in the community that they need and/or desire.

 

This event will:

• Connect Families to Essential Resources – Families will have the opportunity to learn about and access services in areas such as healthcare, housing, mental health, and education supports, all in one place.
• Strengthen School-Community Partnerships – The fair will help build relationships with local organizations, which can lead to ongoing support and future collaborations with our school.
• Promote Equity and Accessibility – Hosting an event like this in a local community school ensures that regardless of background or barriers, or geolocation, everyone has access to the resources and information they need.
• Demonstrate Our Commitment to the Whole Child – Supporting families outside of the classroom plays a crucial role in student success and fosters a strong, inclusive school culture.
