Family Day can bring up a lot of different emotions. For some, it's celebration and connection. For others, it's complicated, tender, or even heavy. Family isn't a one-size-fits-all. It can be people we were born into, the people we chose, or the people who showed up for us when it mattered most. Today is simply a reminder to notice the relationships that shape us - and to extend compassion to ourselves for the ones that are still healing.

From Chaos to Calm: An ADHD Workshop for Women
This 2.5-hour workshop is designed for women with ADHD (diagnosed or suspected). We'll explore how ADHD shows up differently in women, focusing on hormonal impacts, emotional regulation challenges, and burnout. You'll gain an evidence-based understanding of your ADHD brain (it's neurology, not failure) along with practical tools and strategies in a supportive, judgment-free space.
Facilitator: Sherry is a Registered Nurse and ADHD Coach who uses neuroscience to help people understand their ADHD brains, exploring what works for them, while drawing from both professional expertise and personal experience.

Stress Reset: Practical Tools to Regulate Stress and Strengthen Mental Performance
Stress does not just live in your head.
It lives in your nervous system and directly affects focus, decision-making, sleep, patience, and performance.
In this short and impactful session, you will learn how stress actually works in the brain and body, and how to shift out of constant pressure mode so you can respond instead of react, think clearly under stress, and feel more in control day to day. This is not about talking more or doing more. It is about learning how to work with your nervous system so it works for you.
All Participants who Attend will Receive:
A complimentary Self Hypnosis audio to use at home
A 50% off offer for any Westend Hypnosis Program when a Free Screening is booked on the spot or that day

SuperDADs & Sidekicks
Because heroes start at home
SuperDads & Sidekicks is a family-friendly celebration honouring the everyday heroes in our lives — dads and the children who look up to them.
This interactive event invites fathers, kids, and families to step into a world of fun, imagination, and connection.
With costumed superheroes, balloon creations, kid-friendly activities, and plenty of photo-worthy moments, children get to meet their heroes — while dads are reminded that their greatest superpower is simply showing up. There will be a raffle with tickets available for purchase for a chance to win amazing prizes, ranging from Raptors/Blue Jay tickets to RMT massages and Hair Salon Gift Baskets. We will also have 50/50 tickets available for purchase. There is something for everyone in this raffle!!! Children have free entry to the event. With the purchase of an admission ticket, you will receive 5 complimentary tickets for the raffle.
At its heart, SuperDads & Sidekicks is about strengthening bonds, sparking conversations, and celebrating the powerful role fathers play in shaping confident, resilient kids. It runs alongside our charity poker tournament, All-In for Conversation, reinforcing a shared message: strong families and strong communities begin with connection.
Whether you’re wearing a cape or holding a sidekick’s hand, this is a day to laugh, play, and remember — heroes don’t start in comic books; they start at home.
RESERVATIONS ARE REQUIRED!!
Please REMEMBER TO MAKE RESERVATIONS FOR YOUR ENTIRE GROUP AT THE BLK SWAN KITCHEN HUB DOWNTOWN BURLINGTON BY CALLING: 905-637-7926
