Lansdowne Wayfinders Application

A Lansdowne Wayfinder is a proud family ambassador—someone who helps light the path for others by sharing their lived experience with Lansdowne Children’s Centre.

 

As a voice for the infants, children, youth, and families supported through therapy, respite, and recreation services and programs, a Lansdowne Wayfinder brings understanding, empathy, and authenticity with every story they share.

​​

By sharing a real Lansdowne journey, Wayfinders help the community see the impact of early intervention, support, connection, and possibility. Their stories break down barriers, build awareness, and inspire others to reach out, get involved, and believe in what’s possible. 

 

Together, Lansdowne Wayfinders help to grow a stronger, more informed community—and play a vital role in advancing Lansdowne’s mission to help every child to realize their optimal potential.

Lansdowne Children's Centre is deeply committed to family‑centred care. We strive to ensure that the voices and lived experiences of families are reflected in how we engage our community, advocate for children’s services, and build understanding of the critical role that Lansdowne plays in supporting child health and development.
