To RSVP for the event please email eventsupport@beingastonished.com by June 15th! Please include the name of the program and the week i.e. for this activity your subject would be “RSVP Garden of Wellness Week 2”. As well, please send your paratransit times by June 19th.
***Please note at the present time Astonished! staff and volunteers do not provide personal care (washroom needs).
*** Weather conditions are unpredictable and there is no accessible indoor space or shelter at the garden. Our general rule of thumb is to postpone an outdoor event if the percentage of the chance of rain/storms is 40% and higher with no indoor space readily available. We will typically make the call no later than 11:30 am on the day of the event. As weather conditions can change quickly, we kindly ask that Core Members have an alternate transportation or pickup plan available in the event of unexpected inclement weather. If weather conditions shift rapidly, we encourage group homes and support teams to be prepared to arrange pickup or a safe ride home, as there is limited shelter available at the gardens.
***It is very important that you RSVP for events, as we use the RSVP list to communicate any weather-related cancellations, schedule changes, or important event updates.
To RSVP, please email eventsupport@beingastonished.com and include the following information:
- Name of the activity/event
- Name of the Core Member attending
- Whether the Core Member will be bringing a companion/support person
- Mode of transportation
- Emergency contact information for that particular day
- Any important health information, medical information, support needs, or allergy information
We hope to see you there!!
