Simply put, it was an amazing night!
Despite the rather inclement weather, more than 80 people turned up to launch On Our Own Together II. 14 adults with intellectual disabilities will spend 50 days living in the Leeds Residence at Carleton University starting May 8, 2004. The planning phase got off to a great start with this ceremony, and the feedback from all concerned was overwhelmingly positive.
