This gathering was first and foremost an opportunity to express our gratitude. Behind every smile, every adapted activity, and every success experienced by the youth is a network of dedicated partners who help make these services possible.

A Meaningful Impact for Outaouais Families

TUO's specialized summer camps offer much more than a summer activity. 

They allow autistic youth to:

• Maintain skills and achievements acquired throughout the year;
• Preserve a reassuring and structured daily routine;
• Develop meaningful social connections;
• Participate in activities tailored to their individual needs.

For families, these camps also provide essential support and much-needed respite during the summer months.

This year, thanks to the dedication of our staff and the support of many partners, 109 children enjoyed an enriching summer in an inclusive, welcoming, and stimulating environment.

Remarkable Growth That Must Be Sustained

Over the past two years, TUO has successfully increased its camp capacity by more than 70%. This growth reflects both the increasing needs of families across the region and the confidence they place in our services.

The challenge now is to sustain these efforts by securing the funding required to maintain and further develop this essential service offering.

Thank You to Those Who Make It Possible

We would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to the partners and funders whose support directly contributes to the success of our summer camps:

• Santé Québec Outaouais
• City of Gatineau
• Gatineau Police Service (SPVG)
• L'Appui for Caregivers
• APICO
• Canada Summer Jobs Program
• Greg Fergus, Member of Parliament for Hull-Aylmer

Their support helps hundreds of families access quality services and directly contributes to the inclusion of autistic people within our community.

Working Together for Inclusion

At TUO, we believe it is important to celebrate achievements and recognize those who choose to invest in the well-being of families across the Outaouais region.

We are proud to count on such committed partners and look forward to continuing this collaborative work to build an even more inclusive community.

Thank you for standing with us.
