Hi everyone – After 2 years of meetings on Zoom, we have resumed In-Person meetings!

See you there. For more information, email us at transitionparents@gmail.com
Vancouver Parents Transition Group, in conjunction with our community partners BACI and posAbilities, will be hosting a BC Housing Registry Workshop. If you would like to find out how to go on the BC Housing Registry list, join us for an information session with BC Housing on Wednesday May 19th at 3pm (on Zoom). Please note an earlier start time of 3pm instead of our usual 6pm on Wednesday evenings.
RSVP to transitionparents@gmail.com before May 15th so we can send you the link to the workshop.
Hi everyone – We have a request from a family for a Zoom Call meeting of the Transition Group to share ideas on activities during this difficult time whilst keeping safe. So, we will host a Zoom call on Wednesday November 4th at 6pm (begin signing in at 5:34pm). We will also put together a list of resources that we can cover at the virtual meeting. Sometimes all our kids/adults need is to meet another friend or 2 and go for a walk at the park or watch a movie. This is a great opportunity to connect with other families in your area as well.
Please let me know if you are interested in participating by sending email to transitionparents@gmail.com so we have a rough idea on numbers. There is no commitment so if you think you might, please reply, and we can send you the Link nearer the time. Everyone is welcome!
Looking forward to catching up with some of you online

October is here and we would ordinarily be gearing up for a re start of our Transition Group monthly meetings. But these are no ordinary times….. Liz and I have made the difficult but necessary decision that we will NOT be scheduling our regular meetings until the end of 2020.
We can still keep in touch. Feel free to email your concerns to us. Liz and I are available to chat to you on the phone as well (see our numbers below). Or meet up for “distance coffee” if you feel up to it. Also, April Bellia, our tech expert, has offered to host Zoom calls. If there is any topic you would like discussed as a group, or you just want to e connect with families of the Transition Group, please ask, and we can make it happen.
Hope you are all keeping safe and healthy during this difficult time. May 2021 bring some stability and normality back to our lives!
