If you’re new here, welcome to Our Place Respite.

Our Place Respite is a day program in St. Thomas that supports adults with intellectual and physical disabilities.

Every day here looks a little different. You might see people baking in the kitchen, creating artwork that fills our walls, playing games, dressing up or simply spending time together laughing and connecting.

Around here things can get a little silly, a little loud, and a lot of fun — because we don’t really know how to be anything but ourselves.

What matters most to us is creating a place where anyone who walks through our doors feel comfortable, included, and part of the group. A place where individuals can build friendships, try new things, and show up exactly as they are.

This is Our Place Respite.

What a day! 💘

We were so excited to host a Valentine’s Day Dance with our friends from Open Doors Day Program in Simcoe. The room was full of music, dancing, laughter, and so many smiling faces.

Days like this remind us how important it is when communities come together. Open Doors

Pink Shirt Day is about more than wearing pink.
It’s about creating spaces where everyone feels safe, seen, and valued. At Our Place Respite, anti-bullying isn’t a one-day message — it’s something we practice every day.

It looks like listening.
It looks like patience.
It looks like learning one another’s communication styles.

It looks like celebrating differences instead of trying to change them. Bullying thrives in environments where people feel unheard or unseen. Belonging grows where people are respected. Today we’re wearing pink — but every day we choose kindness, inclusion, and dignity. Because everyone deserves a space where they can show up fully as themselves.

We are loving this picture!!

At Doug Tarry Homes, we don’t just think outside the box…
Sometimes we climb inside it. 😏📦
Innovation. Creativity. Teamwork.
However you look at it… we’re always building better together.
