It’s been a busy year so far…
Greetings, Rebound Community!
We hope this newsletter finds you well and basking in the joys of summer! As the days are long and the sun shines brightly, we have much to celebrate and share with you.
Celebrating Brandy’s 20th Anniversary with Rebound!
July marks a very special milestone for us at Rebound. Our beloved Brandy is celebrating her 20th anniversary with the organization! Brandy’s unwavering dedication, passion, and kindness have touched countless lives over the past two decades. Her commitment to our mission and her ability to inspire both staff and participants alike is truly remarkable. Join us in congratulating Brandy on this incredible achievement and thanking her for her invaluable contributions to Rebound!
Exciting Staff Changes: Our Heart Remains Unchanged
Change is the only constant, and at Rebound, we're embracing it with open arms! We have some exciting staff updates that we want to share with you. While we bid a fond farewell to a few of our beloved team members who are embarking on new adventures, we're thrilled to welcome new faces who bring fresh energy and ideas to our organization. We said goodbye to Executive Director, Nicole Wood, who left to return to her first love, nursing, and we excitedly await the arrival of the new E.D., Sam Rockbrune. In the meantime, Rebound is steady in the familiar hands of Carol Beauchamp, who has stepped in as Interim Executive Director.
Rest assured, the heart and soul of Rebound remain unwavering. Our commitment to supporting and nurturing our community is stronger than ever. We continue to be driven by our mission to make a positive impact, and with your support, we are confident that the best is yet to come.
A Fresh New Look for Our Office Space
In addition to the staff changes, we’ve also revamped our office space! With help from an Ontario Trillium Foundation grant and Home Depot Cobourg, we’ve redesigned our layout to create a more welcoming and collaborative environment. The new space is bright, modern, and equipped with better resources to serve you more efficiently. We can't wait for you to see it! Feel free to drop by and check out our new look—we’d love to show you around.
Kilometers for Kids: A Tremendous Success!

This summer, our programs have been buzzing with activity and excitement. From arts and crafts to sports and science experiments, we welcomed some incredible special guests who helped us create a dynamic and engaging environment where kids can explore their interests and make lasting memories. The feedback from parents and children alike has been overwhelmingly positive, and we are already looking forward to planning next year's adventures.
