Support Carizon in Ride for Refuge!

Carizon is participating in the 2018 Ride for Refuge on September 29th. We are encouraging as many folks as possible to sign up for this Fall event! You will not only have a great day of camaraderie cycling in our glorious Region, but you will also support Carizon and the children, youth and families we help every day!

You can learn more and register to ride or walk for Carizon by visiting the Ride for Refuge website. If you want to join an existing Carizon team or sponsor a rider/walker, you can visit the dedicated Carizon Ride for Refuge page here. We hope to see you on September 29th!

Parking Issues at our 1770 King St. E. Location

The parking lot at our location at 1770 King St. East is being resurfaced in sections over the next three weeks, which will greatly reduce parking availability for our services delivered at this location, including Front Door walk-in on Wednesdays and Saturdays. We have been given permission to use parking at Eastwood Collegiate during this period. We are asking clients to contact us if they have any accessibility concerns (including mobility, strollers, difficulty walking on uneven surfaces), and we will assist with making special arrangements. Thank you for your patience!

Calling for Soccer Teams!

On Sunday July 29, 2018, Carizon’s Promise of Partnership Project and Football for the World (FFTW) will be hosting a Community Soccer Tournament at Waterloo Park. The focus of this tournament is to promote diversity and community engagement within Waterloo Region.

Carizon is entering a soccer team in the tournament, but we need some competition. Please form a team and join us. For more info, contact Julio Realegeno at jrealegeno@carizon.ca or call (226) 808-2502 for more details.

Proceeds of the tournament will be going to Carizon’s Youth and Newcomer Programs and FFTW Global and Community based initiatives.
