Yesterday evening we had the pleasure of unveiling our new IC Savings Rooftop Terrace located atop Luso Support Centre Peel, a spacious and beautiful outdoor area created for the centre’s participants, their families, caregivers and program staff. Thank you to IC Savings and the Fundo de Apoio IC Savings for realizing our dream of having an accessible outdoor space for socializing, physical activity and enjoying the simple pleasures of being outdoors and to all of our guests who joined us. It was a wonderful evening and our participants love spending time on our new IC Savings Rooftop Terrace!
