A Daily Dose of Understanding
Spend Your Days With Us

Spend your days with us.

Our day programs provide a daily space for clients to come to learn, develop, and have fun. Each of our programs is designed to enhance the quality of life for participants, no matter their needs. Our day program coordinators regularly collaborate with our clinical team and use an Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) approach to help participants thrive.

Connections Recreational Day Programs

Our recreational programs are well-balanced and structured to promote healthy life skills, fitness, cooperation, relaxation, and fun for everyone. These programs utilize a wide range of local facilities, community organizations, parks, and beaches. The primary purpose of these recreational programs is to provide skill development, adaptive social behaviour, and structured learning within the community.



Connections Work Experience (WE) Day Programs

Our work experience programs focus on teaching job readiness skills. Participants will engage in a variety of activities and tasks designed to help prepare them to find and maintain a job. They will learn to create a resume, work with numbers, interview skills, safe handling of cleaning products, and more.



Connections Satellite Day Programs

Our satellite programs offer participants a chance to learn and develop skills remotely. There are many incentive programs, including car washing, event preparation, food services, landscaping, and more. Each participant receives an individualized program plan along with a portfolio to track their progress. Participants are even able to receive payment for completed tasks.



Additional Programs

We offer a number of other recreational programs for additional registration fees. These programs exist both during the day and after business hours. While these programs are primarily focused on recreation, they do still include components of skill development.



After Hours Programs / Virtual Programs

Our after-hours programs are created to assist in building and developing life skills. Designed to be both fun and creative, our staff always ensures everyone is engaged and learning from start to finish. We provide many different courses including Arts & Crafts, Science, Culinary Skills, Games Night, Movie Night, and Culture Night. These programming courses are available both in person and virtually, and they support prepackaged, contactless pick of supplies for virtual learners.



What it’s like to be understood.

My child was born with a developmental delay and serious mental illness 23 years ago. During that time it was extremely difficult for our family to provide adequate care and support for them, which was hard on all of us. It was especially difficult for us to find services that could help, because our child was demonstrating aggression on a frequent basis. We found that because of this, there was a very limited amount of resources that could support them. After 20 years we were finally able to find our child a long term living arrangement with Springview.

I am incredibly grateful for the exceptional care and personalized treatment provided by Springview.

My son was diagnosed with a serious mental illness 25 years ago. During that time he was moved around several times trying to find the best care available to him. We never found the right fit for him and he deteriorated drastically and was very hard to manage resulting in frequent hospital stays and police involvement. Last August when he was at his lowest, we got a placement for him at Springview. The change in him was drastic. The care he is receiving from the staff has been life-changing for all of us but mostly importantly for my son. He is clean, well-groomed, is getting the medical attention he needs, and has programs in place to help him continue to progress.

The decision to put my son in a group home was one of the hardest things I have ever done in my life; The idea of ‘complete strangers’ looking after my little boy was, frankly: Terrifying, especially given his multiple special needs.

It was not long after that these ‘total strangers’ became my sons’ family in every sense of the word. I honestly can never say enough good about Springview, their staff, their services, and what they have done for my son.
