CAPC/CPNP

SIRCH Community Services receives funding to run the program in Haliburton County, and also sponsors two other sites; Northumberland County (which encompasses Port Hope, Campbellford, Coburg) at the Northumberland Child Development Centre, and the City of Kawartha Lakes at the EarlyON Centre for Families and Children.

All three sites provide participants with access to resources in the community in order to create healthier, more informed lives for their families. This consists of bringing in representatives from relevant agencies, organizations and businesses; providing access to food supplements; assisting with transportation when possible; providing an age appropriate and safe environment for children; and also providing opportunities for connection and peer relationship building through cooking, discussion and fun activities and outings.
