From Sharing Wonder:
It is hard to believe that My Magic Hands was originally launched nearly a decade ago.
Magicana applied for funding from the Ontario Trillium Foundation(OTF) to develop a pilot program version of ”Magic Hands”. In 2004, the program was designed and tested during the year in four different at-risk communities around the Greater Toronto Area (GTA), including Canada’s top children’s rehabilitation hospital, now known as Holland Bloorview Kids Rehabilitation Hospital. The response to the pilot program was excellent and Trillium agreed. Magicana was then awarded a multi-year grant to expand My Magic Hands program (and, to simultaneously develop Senior Sorcery – a program designed specifically for the senior population).
