Description

Hello Canada's Wonderland,

 

My name is Reihona Abduli and I’m a Housing Access Worker with PARC (Parkdale Activity Recreation Centre). I’m writing to you today to request for a donation of 40 Canada's Wonderland general admission tickets for our participants of our program.

 

PARC began in 1977 when a group of volunteers observed the large number of adults living in Parkdale rooming and boarding houses. Many were survivors of the psychiatric system, had little money, few family contacts and no real place to go and connect with peers. On March 17th 1980 PARC opened its doors as a pilot community mental health program.

 

Our passion for providing member-driven programming, employment, food security, social space and safe supportive affordable housing, has evolved and grown to meet our members’ needs for over 40 years.

 

Many of our clients have not had the opportunity to experience Canada's Wonderland. A significant portion of our clientele suffers from social isolation, and I believe that this could be an amazing outing for them.

 

I would like to thank you for the opportunity to submit the donation request. Please let us know if you have any further questions or concerns about this donation request!

 

Thank you,

Canada's Wonderland
