Additional Information

Arrival:
Participants to be dropped off (or take bus) and check in with CLNH staff at the Milton Public Library - Main Branch (1010 Main Street E/corner of Main and Thompson) between 9:30 and 10:00am. As this program is created for individuals who can be independent with only one CLNH Support Worker for 6 individuals, parents/family members/advocates do not attend.

Departure:
Participants to be picked up (or take bus) by 2:00 pm.

Transportation:
Transportation is available through Activan from Georgetown directly to Milton Arts Centre

Program Eligibility:
This program focuses on those who are capable of participating in activities in the community with a 1:6 ratio of staff to individuals (small group setting) and:
- who can be in the community with minimal supervision and without parent/family/advocate presence
- who are not prompt dependent
- who do not have significant behaviour or medical issues
- who are independent in toileting, eating, and other tasks
Please note: CLNH staff are not able to administer medication in this program.

Additional Support:
If an individual needs additional support over and above the support provided by CLNH staff, the individual can still participate in the activities that are open to the public if they provide their own support worker. In such cases, the individual registers through the Town of Milton Recreation Deptartment rather than through CLNH and the individual is not part of the CLNH program.

Fee for Service:
This program is eligible for payment through Passport funding.
