Our programs are here to help you find connection, friendship, encouragement, creativity, and a place to belong. Every program at Carlington Community Connection is free and open to anyone who is interested—whether you are coming for the first time, looking for support, hoping to meet new people, or ready to share your own gifts with others. Come as you are, join in at your own pace, and discover a welcoming community where you are seen, valued, and never alone.

Drop-In Program:
Sometimes the first step toward connection is simply walking through the door. Our daily Drop-In program gives you a welcoming place to share conversation, enjoy hospitality, meet neighbours, and feel less alone. In addition to our existing Drop-In program at Caldwell, a new Drop-In is happening at Lepage Manor, creating another safe and friendly space where you can belong, be encouraged, and experience the difference community can make in your life. |
Creative Arts and Crafts:
You do not need to think of yourself as artistic to belong here. Our creative arts and crafts programs give you a relaxed, welcoming space to try something new, express yourself, enjoy conversation, and discover the joy of creating alongside others—whether you come with experience, curiosity, or simply a willingness to join in. |

Social Circles:
You are welcome in our Social Circles just as you are. These inclusive gatherings for men, women and seniors offer an intimate, supportive place to share conversation, build friendships, feel heard, and discover that you have a place where you belong—whether you come often, come quietly, or are simply taking your first step toward connection. |
Family Programs:
Our family programs offer a warm, welcoming space for parents, caregivers, children, and youth to connect, learn, play, and feel supported together. Offered in collaboration with the Carlington Community Health Centre, these gatherings are a friendly place to meet other families, build confidence, share experiences, and discover that you and your family have a place where you belong. |

Health and Wellness Seminars:
Your wellbeing matters, and these seminars offer a friendly, practical space to learn, ask questions, and feel supported in caring for yourself and your family. Offered in collaboration with the Carlington Community Health Centre and held biweekly as part of the Drop-In program, these sessions bring helpful information, encouragement, and community connection together in a welcoming place where you can feel comfortable taking part. |
Special Events:
Our special events bring the whole community together for moments of celebration, learning, safety, and shared belonging. Held in collaboration with other community agencies and churches, these events include holiday and seasonal celebrations, community meals, community safety sessions, and events for the whole family. Each gathering gives you a welcoming place to meet neighbours, make memories, feel included, and experience the joy of community life together. |
