A local organization is celebrating a major milestone after spending the last three-quarters of a century supporting youth and their families in Chatham-Kent.
The Children’s Treatment Centre of Chatham-Kent held a birthday celebration on Tuesday to commemorate its 75th anniversary in the municipality.
Past and present clients, families, and community partners all attended the event at the CTC building on Lark Street for a BBQ, live music, face painting, crafts, games and treats.
“This celebration marks a great milestone and sense of accomplishment and pride,” says Donna Litwin-Makey, CTC-CK Executive Director. “In an ever-changing environment, the centre has remained a steadfast resource for our community, offering services and programs to enhance the lives of children and youth in Chatham-Kent. The gathering was a huge success, and it was so wonderful to see families, alumni, community partners, and staff in attendance.”
The Children’s Treatment Centre has been providing services for children and youth with physical, developmental and communication needs in the community ever since it was first founded in 1948.
