We are very excited to welcome our local community back to outdoor events this season. Our goal is to provide our patients, family, staff, and the broader community with inclusive and welcoming spaces for care, reflection, gathering, and meaningful time outdoors. Hosting events that bring the neighbourhood together is one of the ways we do that!
Without further ado—scroll below for our complete lineup of upcoming events. (At each TD Commons event, you can find us at the CAMH information table, and we’ll be available to answer any questions you may have about our hospital, the services we provide, and getting involved with the CAMH Foundation.)
