Hi there

Wondering if anyone knows a podiatrist with experience dealing with people on the spectrum?

Air hockey table in good condition for free to someone with ASD and/or their family. Approx 5 ft by 2ft., quite heavy – you'll need a truck or van and two sets of strong arms to pick it up from our place in N Van.
Contact Dave at dbridges1@shaw.ca . First come first served.

Wow, Nancy! Thanks for that! A great, hopeful way to ring in the new year. Thanks again to Sabrina especially, and FEATBC

Hi there

I have an incomplete (missing #8 & SW)set of Nikent golf irons plus hybrids, along w two B Bertha fairway woods to give away for free to a golf-loving young person or adult with a DD. You'll also need a putter.

Any interested parties email me and we'll set up a pickup time. North Vancouver. dbridges1@shaw.ca

Looking for a mobile hairdresser/barber to cut our son's hair in his aba teaching home. Prefer ABA knowledge and experience but fearless and with great presence/assertiveness is fine. North Van location. If it works well this will be a regular gig. Does anyone know one?

Please contact Dave at:

dbridges1@shaw.ca

PS – Is there another Hewko workshop coming up? I know of a parent in NVSD who's had their SEA of several years taken away from them as of next fall, and they feel as if there's no recourse.
Any helpful, constructive advice is welcome.
