📢 Day Program Hours Returning to Standard Schedule.

Beginning August 1st, 2026, The Opportunity Centre Day Program will return to its standard operating hours of 8:30am to 3:00pm.

As we continue returning to regular operations, meaningful programming and client engagement will now continue until 3:00 p.m. The final hour of the day will focus on individualized and small-group activities, including goal-focused learning, life skills development, games, crafts, music, and leisure activities.

Letters will be sent to clients and families in the coming days. Thank you to our staff, clients, and families for your continued flexibility and support as we make this transition.

🧠Technology is creating new possibilities for people with disabilities.

Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) can translate brain signals into actions, helping people with conditions such as brain injuries, ALS, cerebral palsy, and other neurological disabilities communicate, control devices, and gain greater independence.

From restoring speech to operating wheelchairs and everyday household items, these innovations are transforming lives and expanding opportunities for participation and self-advocacy.

Exciting research and development, including work here in Canada is making these technologies more accessible every day thankfully.
