\"Abilities<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00ab\u00a0Abilities Arts Festival<\/strong> is in the unusual position of having last minute space at its upcoming Children’s Festival<\/strong>! This event which\u00a0is coming up shortly – March 5 & 6<\/strong>– \u00a0at the wonderful new Daniels Spectrum (Regent Park Cultural Centre) is normally booked to capacity months in advance with a long waiting list.
\nDue to the current job action by the Ontario public school teachers union, many\u00a0\u00a0teachers who had booked their groups to attend our festival have very reluctantly had to cancel! This is, of course, a great disappointment to the young audiences and to us.<\/p>\n

We’d like to \u00a0turn this unpredictable challenge into an opportunity to extend our Kids Fest to a wider audience. As the attached invitation indicates, with its mix of films, stories-telling, music and the brilliant B-Boy Luca ‘Lazylegz\u00a0\u00bb \u00a0Patuelli, we know that our festival will appeal to young people,the young at heart,\u00a0their caregivers, teachers, health professionals, or those training in any of these areas.<\/strong><\/p>\n
