Home Horizon Youth Outreach
2025-11-19 15:30 - 16:30 | Wasaga Beach Public Library, 544 River Road West, Wasaga Beach, ON, L9Z 2P1, Canada
Our Your S.A.F.E. outreach program works with additional vulnerable youth to identify safe living spaces and provides direction to assist them in regaining control of their lives. Our S.A.F.E. outreach programs serve youth aged 16-29. Since the launch of this program in July 2020,we have served 127 youth, with over 1085 service interactions (referrals, goalsetting, supplies, workshops, etc.), many in the Wasaga Beach area.
Through our outreach services, we supply important items such as tents, sleeping bags, food, hygiene products, grocery gift cards, masks & sanitizers, jackets, hand warmers, clothes, and much more.
The program also provides support and advocacy for mental health, physical health (new family doctor), legal matters, financial aid, rental/tenant advocacy as well as referrals to other housing agencies.
The program has been an incredible success to date. It helps one of our most vulnerable populations to avoid falling through the cracks, providing every individual who come in contact with our outreach worker the chance to feel safe and heard. We work with all marginalized youth regardless of their race, gender, sexual orientation, family situations and socio-economic background.
Our programs are designed to assist youth struggling with social inequalities with tools that will help them to cope and grow stronger to manage and address any bias they face in life.

Seasoned & Smiling: Finding Strength, Humour, and Joy with Angie Sandow
2025-11-20 13:30 - 14:30 | Wasaga Beach Public Library, 544 River Road West, Wasaga Beach, ON, L9Z 2P1, Canada
What happens when life keeps telling you what you can’t do — and you decide to do it anyway?

In Seasoned & Smiling, author, musician, and inspirational humourist Angie Sandow takes audiences on an unforgettable journey through challenge, change, and laughter.
Drawing from her powerful memoir From Chemo to Throttle, Angie shares how grit, determination, and a healthy sense of humour helped her overcome life’s obstacles — from being born with a limb difference and facing workplace bias to navigating breast cancer and redefining what strength truly looks like.
Now, Angie is turning her attention to another familiar label: “you’re getting old.” With her trademark wit and honesty, she challenges the notion that aging makes us irrelevant. Instead, she celebrates it as a time of rediscovery, purpose, and joy — a stage of life where wisdom, confidence, and a touch of nerve inspire us to live on our own terms.
Through stories that are heartfelt, hilarious, and deeply human, Angie reminds us that resilience and humour don’t fade with age — they grow stronger. Audiences will leave feeling uplifted, ready to laugh a little louder, and inspired to keep moving forward, proving that no matter the road, there’s always fuel in the tank for another adventure.
Signed copies of Angie’s memoir From Chemo to Throttle will be available for purchase.
