Snuggled at the entrance of Cornell, beside Markham Stouffville Hospital is a wonderful residence.

An enthusiastic group of parents concerned with Cerebral Palsy organized and founded the Cerebral Palsy Parent Council of Toronto in 1947. This organization became highly respected and effective in awakening public interest and understanding of Cerebral Palsy.

As the Council’s residential pilot project, Participation House, Markham opened its doors at Butternut Lane to its first group of residents in November 1972.

Don’t be shy…if you want to get involved in any way to support the residents or their programs with fundraising initiatives, reach out to say hello.
