At the Andrew Fleck Children’s Services (AFCS) Ottawa Forest and Nature School (OFNS), children experience the outdoors and learn through child-centred, interest-led play. They embrace opportunities across diverse terrain, from mud puddles to snow mounds, while immersed in the sights and sounds of Ottawa’s urban forests.  As a not-for-profit agency, AFCS strives to offer excellent care at a reasonable cost; however, services may still be out of financial reach for some families.   To create equity, we have establish a fee subsidy option, where parents would self-identify a need for a fee subsidy for their children to attend our program.  Families will be selected through a lottery approach from all of the submissions.  Only those families selected will be contacted .  Depending on availability of funding AFCS-OFNS expect to commit spaces for upto 2 children for the year.
