Distinct Insurance, Begin Insurance and Intact Insurance

Thank you so much to Distinct Insurance, Begin Insurance and Intact Insurance for your generous donation towards our programming! It was so wonderful to have Dominic (Distinct Insurance) and Frank (Intact Insurance) here to celebrate this.

Dominic and his team at Distinct Insurance, on behalf of Begin Insurance, were selected as recipients of funding through Intact Insurance’s Community Impact Partnership Program. Dominic’s team then strongly contributed to this donation.

We truly appreciate the big team effort to make this possible! Thank you all for believing in us at Nova’s Ark!

Thank you to Pet Valu - Markham and Steeles

Thank you to our friends at the Markham and Steels Pet Valu for hosting a fundraiser event for us, focusing on parrot food and toys! It was wonderful to connect with Lisa and Sharon, who are so passionate about helping animals. Thank you for being an advocate in the community and sharing our story!

Hidden Disabilities Sunflower Program

We’re proud to announce that Nova’s Ark has partnered with the Hidden Disabilities Sunflower program, a global initiative dedicated to supporting people with non-visible varied abilities.

The Sunflower Program helps raise awareness and understanding, encouraging communities worldwide to recognize and support those living with hidden varied abilities.

At Nova’s Ark, we believe in creating a world where inclusion, accessibility, and acceptance are part of everyday life. Our partnership with the Hidden Disabilities Sunflower is another step in supporting families of all abilities and promoting a more inclusive future for everyone.

Unlike everywhere else I’ve been, at Nova’s Ark, I do not feel out of place. It gives me something that I feel like I can’t find anywhere else. I meet people that I otherwise wouldn’t meet and I feel like a lot of those who have helped me through my struggles I’ve met here. Bridget, Participant since 2010

Nova’s Ark is special to our whole family. When Daniel first started here, he could only speak one-word sentences. Now, he can talk your ear off and is very independent. Daniel being at Nova’s Ark takes a lot of pressure off of our family because we know he is safe, happy and learning. No matter the weather or if he is tired, Daniel doesn’t want to miss a day.

From the moment our son started attending Novas Ark, we felt such positivity, hope and inspiration. Everyone in the Nova’s Ark family has been so caring and accepting of our whole family. Nova’s Ark has gone above and beyond to help us on our family’s journey and we are beyond thankful. We are so lucky to have found such a supportive environment for our children and our family.
