BURLINGTON, ON
Over the course of the pandemic, Art and Music have been an integral part of the lives of the people supported by the Community Living Program.
The “Forever Fly” project was created so that the people they support can express themselves through their artistic abilities, and add to the beauty of the garden area at Mainway.
Their goal is to surround the back yard with colourful butterflies, created by the people they support, to showcase their transformation over the last couple of years. It seems fitting, as the gardens continue to attract many butterflies through the “Garden Buds” Program.
Each individual and/or program were given butterflies to paint and then the butterflies are secured to the fence surrounding the gardens. People can paint one to honour someone they’ve lost, they love, to represent a cause they believe in…. anything that inspires them!
Hundreds of butterflies have been created over the last few months and the community is being asked to help them continue to CREATE opportunities to inspire the people they support to LEAD others and BELIEVE in themselves.
Help Community Living Burlington continue to create opportunities by sponsoring a Butterfly created by someone they support. An individual’s name or company name will be added to each butterfly and help make a lasting impact on the agency.
Each sponsored butterfly will help:
- Continue our CLB News Team & CLB Cheer Team on a weekly basis
- Build new & exciting Virtual Programming for all participants
- Discover new opportunities in the community to engage our participants and increase social capital
- Assist the people we support to develop new skills and certifications to become leaders in our community.
- Fund supplies and equipment for new art projects
- …. the possibilities are endless!
