Fall for Scadding

Lacrosse has been a part of Scadding Court for decades. So, in May, when newly elected Member of Parliament Danielle Martin visited the Centre, our lacrosse players just had to put on a show. The lacrosse program continues through the fall.

It’s all fun and games and learning, too! At Scadding Court, play is an important part of growing. Through activities like bubble play, children build social skills, confidence and independence while learning, exploring and having fun together.

Growing panes. From spring through fall, Scadding’s Urban Agriculture program (backed by a team of volunteers) is busy planting, pruning and picking flowers and vegetables in the gardens on and around the Centre.
