COMMUNITY COACHING CENTER
Following the closure of All Saints Episcopal Day School, the Vestry has been concerned that our school facilities be used to the advantage of our parish and having concern for our mission. The classrooms on the ground level of the education building will be used as extra classes for our pre-school. We are in the process of applying for increased registration to 80 pupils. We already have a waiting list.
A more significant development has been the signing of a 12 month lease for the use of the former library, EDS cottage and playground on the south side of the Parish Hall. The organization leasing the property is Community Coaching Center. The Mission of CCC is "To nurture the development of socially appropriate skills in children on the autism spectrum while promoting community acceptance and inclusion". CCC works with autistic children. They organize various programs and activities - some as simple as riding a bus or trolley, enjoying support and recreational activities, eating out, visiting the Zoo and attending artistic events. This is a marvellous activity and mission. It is a privilege for All Saints' Church to provide facilities for this organization, and in keeping with our mission to serve the community. At the same time the parish is gaining some rental income to maintain and develop our facilities.
