Our Mission
The mission of the organization is to support autistic children, adolescents, and adults. First, by promoting public awareness and understanding of what it means to live with autism and its impact on the community (parents, friends, extended family, teachers, etc.); and second, by helping autistic individuals become fully included members of society. The organization provides support to enrich the lives of autistic individuals through artistic programs, physical activities, recreation, and respite services.

Respite Day Centre
Our Respite Day Centre provides autistic adults with a welcoming space from Tuesday to Friday. Through arts, recreation, physical activity, and social programs, participants can build confidence, explore new interests, and enjoy meaningful connections with peers. The program also gives families and caregivers valuable respite, while ensuring participants feel supported, engaged, and included.
S.Au.S. Activities

Each program fosters self-esteem, socialization, and personal development while keeping the focus on fun and relaxation. From creative projects to recreational and group activities, our programs provide enriching experiences that support confidence, connection, and joy.
Camp Oasis
