If you or someone you know has recently immigrated to Canada or maybe you have relocated to the Waterloo Region…
You are invited to join us on Wednesday, April 2 for a free RESOURCE INFORMATION NIGHT.
It can be hard to know where to turn for help navigating the system. Forward Community Center has invited Regional Service Worker, Spencer Howe, to share his expertise and answer your questions.
This night will cover many important topics including:
7:00 PM-8:30 PM
Light refreshments will be served!
Are you looking to improve your Math IQ and possibly your GPA? Forward Community Centre is now offering Math Tutoring with Kathleen.
Wednesday evenings between 4:00 PM-6:00 PM. Lessons are 60 minutes in length.
The cost is $10/lesson, and this session will run March 19 to April 23 for a total of $60 for the 6-week block.
These are 1-hour lessons where each student will receive one-on-one tutoring catered to their unique class content. Available to students in Grade 6 through Grade 10.
Please bring your current course work and a sample of previous marks in order to build a foundation for improvement. (Note: a parent or guardian must remain in the building during the duration of the lesson).

Camper Groups
Kindergarten Camp and Elementary Camp will be divided into smaller groups of campers. Each group will participate in the same program. If your child is attending camp with a friend or a sibling and they would like to be in the same group please ensure that they are registered in the same group. You are able to choose their group during registration. If the group doesn’t matter to you, please choose a group other than Group 1 as Group 1 tends to fill quickest since most parents choose it by default. Please note that the groups are subject to change based on camper registration and other factors and are not guaranteed.
Adaptive Camp
Please click here and read the attached document before registering your child for Adaptive Camp. Please select either “Cambridge Adaptive Camper” or “Kitchener Adaptive Camp” depending on where you live to register your child for Adaptive Camp. Adaptive campers can only select 5 weeks of camp as we seek to support as many children as we are able. Please contact Rebecca Sparrow, specialneeds@forwardchurch.ca for inquiries about Adaptive Camp.
Registering
Please ensure that you log in as yourself when prompted after entering the code sent to your cell phone or email. After logging in as yourself you can select the participants (your children).
