Looking to connect with other adoptive and permanency families? Join us for a memorable family outing at Victoria Butterfly Gardens!
Families can wander through the beautiful gardens, watch colourful butterflies, and spot fascinating creatures along the way. It’s a great opportunity to relax, explore, and connect with other adoptive and permanency parents, caregivers, and children.
Admission fee:
• Children (5-12): $9.50
• Adults (18-64): $20.00
• Infants (0-4): Free
The meeting point will be in the lobby—look for the Belonging Network sign. Please text the volunteer if you're running late or unable to attend. If there are eight or more people, a group discount may apply.
Our Face to Face Connections events are organized by volunteers. You will receive an email with the volunteer’s contact information the day before the event.
When: Saturday, April 5, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Where: Victoria Butterfly Gardens
All families who register and attend a Face to Face Connections event will be entered into a monthly draw to win a $50 Amazon gift card. Good luck!
Why join the Face to Face Connections events? Connecting with other adoptive and permanency families can bring real benefits. Meeting others who share similar experiences can ease feelings of isolation, deepen your understanding of your child’s unique needs, and boost your confidence as a parent or caregiver. Through these connections, you can build a strong support network within a community that genuinely understands and supports your journey.
For children and youth, these gatherings foster a unique sense of belonging. Connecting with peers who truly “get it” helps them feel understood. Sharing stories with others who have similar experiences can boost self-esteem and build friendships, making it easier—and much less lonely—to navigate complex emotions.
