New! Outdoor Summer Pilot Programs
We’re excited to announce that we will be running a small number of in-person, outdoor programs this summer in order to practice our newly enforced COVID-19 safety protocols. Multiple safety measures will be in place including enhanced cleaning, hand hygiene, and physical distancing to the extent that is possible within our programs.
As the scale of programming will be small, we anticipate the demand will far exceed the available spaces. While we wish we could accommodate more members, we strongly believe in piloting the enhanced safety procedures with a limited number of participants to ensure we get it right. Like other program providers, we plan to expand our offerings by gradually adding more in-person programs in more locations throughout the next year.
Looking Ahead
Even come fall, we will be facing challenges with access to facilities as well as budget constraints as a result of cancelled fundraising events and the overall economic impact of the pandemic. Our goal will always be to deliver the greatest number of programs for our members while ensuring CAN’s long-term sustainability.
Virtual Programs
In the meantime, we encourage you to check out our live virtual programs this summer, with registration opening on July 13. Our virtual programs allow CAN coaches to interact with participants in real-time. Stay tuned as we add new and exciting opportunities throughout 2020.
You can also check out our library of pre-recorded videos and 8-week programs that participants can enjoy at their own time and at their own pace!

New! Join the CAN Virtual Challenge
|
|
|
|
Every year, we host a large-scale public event (CAN Family Festival, CAN Relay 4 Autism) that aims to raise vital funds for CAN, while increasing autism acceptance and support in the community at large.
This year, rather than gathering together physically, we want you to join us online for the first ever CAN Virtual Challenge! The online fundraising event will take place over 10 days (August 5-14), with fun, accessible challenges that have been designed to promote active living, creativity and mental health.
Add a reminder in your calendar to sign-up on July 6 and learn more about the challenges and prizes that you and your family can win!
