Autism B.C. and the Pacific Autism Family Network will be hosting an autism-friendly Easter event.
It is set for Friday, April 5 at Pacific Autism Family Network - Prince George at 1811 Victoria St., 6-7 p.m.
It is open to kids of all ages and will feature Easter-themed crafts, cookie decorating and a special visit from the Easter Bunny.
The event will also be free of loud noises, strong smells and other sensory triggers that are frequently bothersome to people with autism.
"To help keep the event sensory friendly, parents are asked to avoid wearing any scented products while attending the event, as it may irritate some of the kids attending," organizers said.
"Also, parents are asked to remain with their kids during the event, to ensure their kids have the best experience possible."
The event is free to attend, but parents and guardians are asked contact Heather Kwitkoski at [email protected] in advance to advise her of how many kids are coming and provide an idea of how much in supplies are needed.
