Welcome Back!

Can you believe the summer is over already?! Neither can we. But there's no point in fighting it, so let's get your kids ready for a great year. Here's how you, as a parent, can help.

In the past few months we have redesigned the gallery, welcomed great new artists and revamped some of our programming. We held our first Lion Heart Awards Ceremony and celebrated some amazing youth workers in and around North Bay.

Early this month we also lost one of our award winners and biggest supporters. Dawn Ellen Valois will always have a special place in our hearts.

This month the newsletter is a little light on content and we are late getting it out. We are sorry.

We want to thank all of our sponsors and donors, all of our youth volunteers and our board of directors. We are looking forward to a great year ahead. We have included a little video created by one of our vendors to showcase just what we have to offer vendors, youth and more in our space!

Thank You!
