In June 2025, we will be installing Smilezones at Shining Thru, Mississauga, ON! The Smilezones will include: fresh paint, colorful murals, sensory and interactive gaming elements, custom cabinetry and more! Stay tuned for more details!
Thank you to our generous donor, Harold Ballard Foundation / Smilezone Golf Tournament for making this project possible!
About Shining Thru: Shining Through was founded in 1999 by five families who had children with autism and no acceptable options for their education in their community. These families, bonded together by a common problem, set out to create an autism therapy centre based on the principles of Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA), where their children could get quality therapy specifically tailored to their needs. They were able to acquire a beautiful 19th century mansion house, and with the help of friends and community members renovate the interior and create a new therapeutic learning centre. By January, 2001, the Woodbridge campus of Shining Through was born.
