Five Counties Children’s Centre has announced the opening of their newest Smilezones at their Cobourg Site (800 Division Street), which serves more than 1,000 children and youth each year.

“We are very happy the children and families in the Northumberland area can now enjoy this warm, welcoming environment,” says Kristy Hook, Vice Chair Five Counties Children’s Centre Board of Directors.

“The change is incredible,” adds Diane Pick, CEO of Five Counties Children’s Centre. “The work of the amazing volunteers who transformed our space over one weekend has created an inviting, friendly place for our clients and families to spend time while they are here for therapy and appointments.”

“Each Smilezone at the Site has been created to represent a different aspect of Northumberland County life,” says Elizabeth Carmichael, Program Manager at the Cobourg Site.

“In addition to the Welcome Message in our reception area, the extremely talented Smilezone artist has created murals depicting the neighbouring farm community, beach, rolling hills and forest.”
