Tuesday evening’s session with Pathways concluded a six week program in which four children designed and painted two large steel garbage cans provided by the City of Sarnia. This program, an ongoing initiative of the Lawrence House Centre for the Arts in partnership with the Pathways Health Centre for Children and the City of Sarnia, provides an inclusive art program for children with disabilities.

The Lawrence House participated for the first time in the Kinsman Santa Claus Parade that was held on Saturday Dec. 06th. In partnership with Shadowland Theatre, a host of LHCA volunteers and the many donations of empty water bottles we created a replica of the Lawrence House constructed entirely of recycled materials and LED lighting.The effect was truly magical, reminiscent of an ice palace shimmering in the snow.

 

The process of the construction was complimented by many curious visitors dropping in to watch, and many people were delighted with the concept and clever use of the materials.

Writers in Transition will be at the Lawrence House each First Friday Event You will find them in the Turret Room with a wonderful selection of books published d by local writers, all for sale .
