Onward Willow Better Beginnings, Better Futures

How to Get Involved

Text Box: Come and find out what’s going on at your community centres.  
Everyone is welcome to join in!
Registration is needed with many of our preschool and school aged programs. Please drop by or call to get more information. A current schedule of activities is available at Family Gateway, Onward Willow Centre, or on this web site.
The Onward Willow Neighbourhood Group meets the 4th Wednesday of the month at the Family Gateway, starting at 5:00 PM for a light supper. This is a great way to find out what is happening. And, we provide child care!
You can also get involved by volunteering at the centres or participating through  our standing and ad hoc committees.

Text Box: “Onward Willow gave me a desire to want to do more because I could see myself changing and I could see myself doing new things that I’d never even thought of attempting before”
Text Box: “Better Beginnings brought us closer as a family. It has certainly given me a lot of respect and trust in the community, which I value. It has made me an overall better person and I, in turn, have been able to do more of that for other people.” 
Text Box: “My life changed after the Peer Parent began to visit me regularly. She brought me news about our neighbourhood, shared information that I wanted to know about, translated many flyers into Chinese to help me learn, and introduced me to my neighbours... I don’t feel lonely any more.”
