MPP Kristyn Wong-Tam visits with Seanna Connell (Legacy Program Coordinator) at Daniel Spectrum’s 10th Anniversary Celebration, November 23, 2022.
ArtHeart’s Sandi Wong, Co-Chair, (not pictured) and Seanna Connell took the opportunity to thank Kristyn Wong-Tam for the Ontario Trillium Foundation’s Resilience Communities Fund grant to ArtHeart. This grant enormously helped to build ArtHeart programs back as the organization emerged from the pandemic. The MPP holds a bouquet of art flowers made at the ArtHeart studio from upcycled materials for the event.
