West-London-Celebrate the Spectrum: Tie-Dye Together!

Join us for a joyful day of creativity, connection, and celebration! Celebrate the Spectrum: Tie-Dye Together! is a free, inclusive community event that brings families from across Ontario together to honor creativity, individuality, and connection.

This family-focused event features a fun and engaging tie-dye T-shirt activity, symbolizing the unique and diverse experiences of individuals on the autism spectrum. Just as no two tie-dye shirts are alike, every autistic person brings their own strengths, perspectives, and colors to our community.

Families will gather in a welcoming and supportive environment to design custom shirts using a vibrant palette of colors. This hands-on activity encourages self-expression while offering a sensory-friendly experience for children and youth.

In addition to tie-dye, families can enjoy:

Entertainment- Sunshine Therapy Dogs (specific times to be announced), Balloon Photo ops and Messy Labs will be here to celebrate the day. Messy Labs brings their drop-in exploration station from 4:30-6:30PM.

Community partner booths- TVCC, Onward Social Skills, Embodied Resilience, Nurturing Behaviors

Crafts and sensory play

Light snacks and more!
