Our Programs

Opal’s Family Support Workers meet with families in their home, in the community, in the office, and by telephone to provide assistance in navigating governmental and community services and accessing supports for children and adults with disabilities.

If you or your family require support, assistance with navigating services, or social/recreational programming:

Please contact Laura at laura@opalfamilyservices.ca.

Opal Family Services will offer day camps through the months of July and August 2025! With a ratio of one camp counselor for each child who requires this level of support, we offer a safe, inclusive, and engaging program full of activities, crafts, games, and outings. We offer inclusive programming and provide assistance to meet the unique needs of our campers.

Registration will open Spring 2025.
