Welcome to Family Link!
In an effort to be more environmentally and financially responsible, TVCC is changing the way we distribute information to clients, families and our community. The Family Link newsletter and the Opportunities to Participate brochure will no longer be mailed to individual homes. Instead copies of our publication will be available in TVCC waiting areas, through you child's therapist, on our website www.tvcc.on.ca or via email.
