Day Program

The Day Program was opened for services on June 8th, 1987. ​

A lot of community support went into the acquisition of the Day Program. The Kinsmen donated $87,000 on March 1st, 1986. ​

Gravelbourg Bon Ami, Inc. purchased the IPI building on October 1st, 1986. ​

Since opening, the day program has had many different programs. At the beginning, we started with special event decorations. After a while, we switched gears to the paper recycling program and car wash program. ​

Currently, we are focusing on community based programming, and helping our participants find valuable roles in the Community of Gravelbourg. 

​

In the 2026 year, we are focusing on our "Around the World Program". Each month, the participants will travel to a different country, and learn about the culture, foods, sports and celebrations. 

THANK YOU TO OUR COMMUNITY FUNDING PARTNERS!

Gravelbourg Bon Ami, Inc. would like to extend a sincere thank you to the Town of Gravelbourg Community Group Financial Contribution Fund and Community Initiatives Fund (CIF) for their generous financial support of our Around the World Program for the 2026 year! 

​

Thanks to their contributions, we are able to provide meaningful cultural learning experiences for the individuals we support. Through this program, participants have the opportunity to explore different countries and cultures through hands-on activities, crafts, food, music and community connections. 

​

These experiences encourage learning, creativity, inclusion, and a greater appreciation for the diversity of our world. 

​

We are grateful for the support of the Town of Gravelbourg and CIF in helping us bring the world to our participants, one country at a time! 

​

Thank you for investing in our participants and our community!

2026 Around the World Program 

Our 2026 Around the World program offers our participants an exciting, year-long opportunity to explore different countries, cultures and traditions from across the globe. Each month focuses on a new destination or theme, using hands on activities, discussions, crafts, music, movement, food experiences and community outings to bring learning to life. This program is designed to be engaging, meaningful, and accessible, allowing participants of all abilities to explore the world in a supportive and inclusive environment.  ​ Throughout the year, participants will build important life skills such as communication, teamwork, independence, and decision-making. Activities are adapted to meet individual needs and interests, encouraging active participation and confidence. From learning about landmarks and traditions to cooking themed meals, playing games, and experiencing cultural music and movement, the program emphasizes learning through experience and enjoyment.  ​ The Around the World Program also supports social connection and local involvement by incorporating group challenges, special events, and local outings whenever possible. Programming remains flexible and participant led, allowing us to adjust activities based on interests. This global journey celebrates diversity, curiosity and inclusion, while creating meaningful memories and shared experiences throughout 2026.
