What is The Grand Parade?
The Grand Parade is a Peer to Peer fundraising campaign that ends in a 2.5 or 5 KM walk (parade) through our neighbourhood to raise awareness of our organization, to celebrate the campaign and tell our story to those who donate. Money is raised through pledges or selling sponsorship.
What are we fundraising for?
This year marks the first of a three year capital campaign to raise $100K for renovations to SLEC's on-site space. Funds will also be used to maintain the VRC program infrastructure.

Our Story
Virtual Rec Connect is a Virtual Adult Day Program for those waiting for or unable to access in-person programs. The programs offered throughout the week allow clients to interact with staff and one another without leaving home - helping clients increase socialization and learn new skills. VRC works to reduce barriers to access by offering clients programs by phone or by Zoom, language specific programming and offering a device lending program to those who need it. Through your support of the TGP24 campaign VRC can continue to innovate new ways to provide programming to our client community.
