This year, we’re celebrating an incredible milestone – 20 years of supporting all kids, youth and families! A lot can change for a child in 20 years as they grow. From reaching different developmental milestones and gaining independence, to transitioning into adulthood. Just like the kids and youth we serve, CTN has grown, evolved and transformed over the last two decades all while keeping families at the centre of what we do. We have become a dynamic network that supports tens of thousands of families across our communities. Whether a family accessed CTN years ago or just this year, our goal has been to support the development and well-being of kids and youth with disabilities and developmental needs.

Over the years, our journey has been shaped by listening to families, nurturing strong community partnerships, embracing innovation and welcoming dedicated team members – all with families at the core of CTN. As we move forward, our 2022 – 2027 strategic plan continues to guide our work which is rooted in our four core values of inclusion, collaboration, responsibility and innovation. These values are woven into everything we do; from the services we offer, to how we engage with families, partners and communities.

To celebrate 20 years, we are excited to host an inclusive birthday celebration for kids and youth this November. It’s important for all kids to have access to fun, friends, fitness and function – every child deserves to be included and celebrated. This event welcomes everyone and will support our vision of a vibrant community where all kids, youth and families belong. Together, we’ll continue building a community where every child and youth feels valued and supported, and every family feels welcome.
