OTTAWA — CHEO’s WE Club is holding a Forward Movement Painting Party to paint three parking spaces with the Forward Movement icon, the first at CHEO.
The CHEO WE Club is Canada’s only chapter composed entirely of youth with disabilities. They raised money to pay for the supplies and stencil needed to paint the parking spots.
In their invitation to the party they wrote, “This logo proves that just because we have a disability does not mean we cannot move forward actively in the world. This logo reflects how we are active members of our society as Canadians.”
They will also be presenting a cheque to Roger Neilson House, money raised at the Great Glebe Garage Sale in honour of one of their friends.
Facilitated by the Recreational Therapy Program at CHEO, the WE Club is a volunteer group who use CHEO’s Development and Rehabilitation services.
