A LETTER FROM PACIFIC AUTISM

FAMILY NETWORKBOARD OFDIRECTORS

Dear Friends and Supporters:

Today we celebrate many years of work towards the completion of a dream – the Pacific Autism Family Network. Hundreds of people; families, self advocates, service providers, government agen-cies, academia, researchers and clinicians have dedicated thousands of hours making the dream a reality and we are so grateful to all of them. Our Steering Committee spent 5 years developing our program with the direction of an advisory group of over 85 different organizations and partners. The PAFN will link communities around B.C. in a hub and spoke network designed to build capaci-ty throughout the province.

Specific thanks to the Government of British Columbia, for sharing this vision and for their com-mitment to our community. Our great friends Patch and Silken who donated so generously and for whom the GoodLife Fitness Family Autism Hub is named – thank you. Variety the Children’s Charity and Autism Speaks Canada our naming donors and the hundreds of other individuals and corporations who have supported us – our sincere thanks.

Since the beginning we have been supported by a group of colleagues who formed the board of the Pacific Autism Family Centre Foundation – thank you for sharing your wisdom and guidance.

And finally to our family, and to families around BC who support individuals living with Autism – welcome to your family centered, life span focused centre of excellence for ASD and related disorders.
