Friday, May 27, 2022 9Brooklin Town Crier We are so excited that the Brooklin Spring Fair will be Together Again in 2022. The Board of Directors has worked tirelessly over the past few years to preserve our traditions. We also made a few necessary changes to keep everyone safe. With the Fair opening on Thursday, June 2, and the parade on Saturday, May 28, we felt that spreading things out a little meant volunteers could deliver it all after a two-year closure. We hope to see you at both family events! Agriculture You'll see a return of your old favourites at the Fair along with some improvements. Visit Agri-land, presented by Minto Communities, and learn about agriculture and how important it is to our community and our future. Super fans will want to take in the Demolition Derbies on Thursday and Saturday nights. The Tractor Pull will wake up the neighbourhood on Friday as we watch the muscle on the track while Kids' Pedal Pulls will be in the Vipond arena before the big pull outside. And, on Sunday afternoon, we once again welcome the RAM Rodeo family back to Brooklin. Homecraft & Shoppes Homecraft items will be on display in the arena. Visit the Little Shoppes on the FairGrounds and see what this new marketplace has to offer. Thrill seekers will want to head into the midway for the rides, sights and sounds. There will, of course, be plenty of entertainment for everyone: live music in the Back40 featuring Two for the Show on Friday and Saturday nights. Meanwhile, The Buskers return to the Courtyard stage throughout the weekend with a fabulous fire finale each evening at 10. The Brooklin Spring Fair is proudly run on 100% volunteer power. On behalf of the Board of Directors, thank you to our many and loyal volunteers and supporters who make this event such a success, and have been doing so for 111 years. We look forward to celebrating our return with you and your families. See you at the Fair. Tracy Hanson President, Brooklin Spring Fair Twelve months after opening its doors to its first client, the Durham Region Paediatric Complex Care Program has reached a significant milestone. On May 5, 2022, this multi-disciplinary program will have provided service to more than 40 children and youth with complex medical needs. This means children, youth and their families have received care closer to home in their own community. The Durham Region Complex Care Program is delivered in partnership among Grandview Kids, The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids), Complex Care Kids Ontario, Lakeridge Health as the lead of the Ontario Health Team - Durham, and the Central East Home and Community Care Support Services. Specialized programs Grandview Kids, founded in 1953, is an independently operated, not-for-profit Children's Treatment Centre in Durham Region. A Centre of Excellence for paediatric assessment, care and rehabilitation, it provides specialized programs, medical services, and outpatient clinical treatment and support to thousands of children and youth with physical, communication and developmental needs, as well as support for parents and caregivers. Its mission is to help every child and youth live life to their full potential. The program was designed to provide multi-disciplinary support to children in what is known as a 'multi-team' visit. Clients benefit from consultation and treatment from a Paediatrician, Nurse Practitioner, Social Worker, Dietitian, Occupational Therapist, Physiotherapist, and Recreation Therapist. A unique feature of this clinic is the addition of a Peer Navigator, a parent of a child who also has medical complexities and is a paid employee of Grandview Kids. This Peer Navigator, Fadia Omer, connects with parents to provide peer-to-peer support before, during and after appointments. The complexity of medical needs endured by children and youth requires a holistic, team-based approach to on-going care and support.
