Dear COH participants, caregivers and community partners:
In light of Guelph entering Phase 3, Community of Hearts is reopening for the Fall session of the (in person) Learning Day Program as of Tuesday, September 8, 2020 at our Lifelong Learning Centre.
As a result we will not be offering online programming as of Monday, August 24. The flow of the learning experience will feel a little different as staff and participants take time to clean and sanitize throughout the day.
Participants and caregivers are encouraged to schedule a ‘welcome back’ appointment to see the Lifelong Learning Centre and get a sense of the changes made to the space. Please contact [email protected] to book a visit on Monday, August 31 or Tuesday, September 1 2020.
As health and safety of participants, staff and volunteers is Community of Hearts’ top priority, all policies and procedures will be re-evaluated daily based on Public Heath Guidelines. This may require a rollback of in-person programming. All participants and caregivers will be notified of any changes based on COVID-19 impact in Guelph. We appreciate your understanding and support throughout this process.
Email [email protected] to hold your spot in Community of Hearts’ Learning Day Program. Please stay tuned for an FAQ and COVID-19 specific protocols coming soon to Community of Hearts’ website.
We look forward to connecting in person!
Warmly, The Community of Hearts’ Board of Directors

Still Social. Still Connected. Still Learning
Virtual Programming is still available!
At Community of Hearts, we combat social isolation and build community through all of our programs. During times of physical distance we vowed to continue connecting and engaging with you: the People We Support through new technologies and creative methods.
While we have returned to limited in-person programming, we recognize that not everyone is ready to return to community settings. If you are interested in continuing your learning from home and working on skills for independent living, Independent Hearts might be a great fit for you!
