Some clients in our day program had never touched a paintbrush before coming to Pilgrims, but with some instruction and encouragement, they are finding joy, confidence and increased self-esteem through artistic expression.

Many initially assume they can’t participate because they’re in a wheelchair, have weakness in the limbs, arthritis, or lack of experience. By adapting the activity, tools and/or environment to individual needs, our Recreation Therapist, Gillian, helps people to participate regardless of limitations – adding to their success.

We think the artwork being produced is absolutely beautiful.
