Art Appreciation

Have you heard about KMFRC Family Paint Nights? Facilitated by the Coordinator for our Child and Youth Development team (including Special Needs Inclusion and Parent Support), with French language support by our Child Development Worker, these have become popular events in the CFB Kingston community.
