Autism & First Responders Family Event

  • Richard P. Outhouse Memorial Park 2550 Outhouse Road Canandaigua, NY, 14424 United States (map)

Join us on April 15th, 2023 from 11:00 am – 2:00 pm at Richard P. Outhouse Memorial Park for an Autism and First Responders Family event!

This free family event will feature the Canandaigua Emergency Squad, the City of Canandaigua Fire Department, the Ontario County Sheriff's Office, Operation Safe Child, Project Life Saver, Pet Connections, the Town of Canandaigua Highway Department, sensory-friendly spaces, fundraisers for Autism Connections, and lawn games!

Kids will get to learn about each of the vehicles and their various functions. Because children are often frightened by emergency vehicles, this event is designed to let them learn about the trucks in a comfortable setting to avoid anxiety in future emergency situations.

Interested in donating a raffle basket to benefit Autism Connections at The Arc Ontario or have questions? Contact Ryan Burba, Director, Program Supports Services, at rburba@thearcontario.org.

We can’t wait to see you there!
