The Social Recreation and Rehabilitation/Group Services program offers drop-in and scheduled programing at 5 different sites across Grey and Bruce counties. Each location offers a range of different recreational programing opportunities that are scheduled in consultation with the members. A monthly schedule is posted for each site and participants can attend as many activities as they are interested in.
Goals & Objectives:
