The CANAAF Kids & Teens Club periodically offer community awareness and gathering events in the Toronto area. In 2019 we held events such as rock climbing, and nerf gun wars, and in 2020 virtual activities such as arts & crafts, online games, and special guests. This provides both parents and youth a time to have fun and socialize and spend meet with others experiencing similar situations.
