Welcome 
New CLC Elected for Upcoming Year
The Peel Chapter of Autism Ontario held its Annual General Meeting on Thursday May 9th, 2013. We saw a great turn out this year. Thank you to all who came.
Highlights of the past year’s activities and accomplishments were discussed. Several members were recognized for their outstanding fundraising efforts. It also marked a chance for everyone to discuss future goals and activities for the Chapter.
