Family Gatherings
OPWSA's family gatherings provide an informal setting where parents have the opportunity to connect, as well as share information and personal experiences with other families in the Prader-Willi community.
Earlier this year, OPWSA hosted family gatherings in Toronto, London, Burlington, and Stouffville. Thank you to everyone who joined us.
If you are interested in hosting a Family Gathering in your region, contact Jennifer Coens, Executive Director at ontariopws@gmail.com.

OPWSA held our Fall Family and Caregiver Conference on Saturday, October 19, 2019 at the Ontario Science Centre in Toronto. It was an incredible day of learning for the parents and caregivers in our General Conference, and a day of exploration and activities for the individuals with PWS and their siblings in the Fun Friends Program.

On August 11th, families and friends came together for OPWSA's Family Fun Day with the Jays. It was a close game, but unfortunately the Jays lost 1-0 to the Yankees. While we couldn't pull out the win, we had beautiful weather, good seats, and we were surrounded by great people!
