More Than an Event
For 10 years, RECFEST has been a place where children and youth with disabilities, their families, volunteers, community partners, and supporters come together as one community.It's a day where everyone can participate, new friendships are formed, and every child is encouraged to play and simply enjoy being themselves. Families who may have never met before leave with new connections, while returning families reunite with familiar faces they've looked forward to seeing year after year.
At SMILE Canada, we know that true inclusion goes beyond accessibility. That's why RECFEST is designed to be both culturally safe and accessible, ensuring families from all backgrounds feel welcomed, respected, and represented. From the activities and volunteers to the atmosphere itself, every detail is thoughtfully planned so everyone can participate with confidence.
As we celebrate our 10th Annual RECFEST, we're also celebrating a decade of community, belonging, and unforgettable memories. Whether you're joining us for the first time or returning for another year, we can't wait to welcome you into the RECFEST family.
