Do you remember…? Warm summer days, running around outside, playing games in the park, making friends, and learning lots and lots of cool new stuff? At Cecil Community Centre, we do, and we want to make the summer of ‘21, memorable for all of the children 

Last spring, 8-year-old Thomas and his family were living in a Newcomer Welcome Centre. He was attending virtual school while his parents learned English as a Second Language and juggled part-time jobs to get “Canadian Experience”. But when summer came, Thomas had his first ever experience in a summer day camp. At CecilKids! camp, Thomas, and his new CecilKids! friends learned to bake cookies, build and explode a volcano, and played hours, and hours of Capture the Flag. Thomas’s father told us that his “First summer in Canada, was his best summer ever.”

That was because someone like YOU stepped up to send him to camp. We need your help again this summer, not just for Thomas, but more children like him. The COVID-19 pandemic has been especially challenging financially for many families in our community so please donate today! $110 will give one child a week-long experience and lifelong happy memories.
