Autism Ontario is hosting an event on April 2 to conclude World Autism Day and launch their Celebrate the Spectrum campaign. Local dignitaries, Autism Ontario staff, and families are invited to Mather Arch in Fort Erie to hear from Margaret Spoelstra, the CEO of Autism Ontario, about the significance of World Autism Day and show support for the autistic community. The event will start with light refreshments and a photo opportunity of the illuminated Peace Bridge.

The Celebrate the Spectrum campaign is an annual initiative by Autism Ontario that aims to provide an opportunity for positive action by creating spaces of support and advocacy for diverse communities to learn about autism and how to make society more inclusive for autistic individuals. This year’s campaign promises to be bigger than ever as they illuminate the Peace Bridge with their brand colors from 6:30-7:30 p.m., which symbolizes unity and acceptance among all members of society. The event will also feature light refreshments and a photo opportunity with the illuminated Peace Bridge as a backdrop.
In conclusion, Autism Ontario’s event on April 2 is not only an opportunity to celebrate World Autism Day but also a chance to show support for the autistic community through positive action. As an organization that provides tailored programs and services, advocates for policy changes, and fosters a supportive network of community resources and partnerships, Autism Ontario plays a crucial role in promoting inclusivity in society.
