Celebrating 30 years
Since its founding in 1996, the Centre for the Arts in Human Development (CAHD) at Concordia University has empowered adults with developmental disabilities through creative arts therapies, fostering self-expression, confidence, inclusion and community.
Recognizing three decades of impact
As the Centre celebrates its 30th anniversary, we recognize the participants, graduates, families, caregivers, students, staff, volunteers and supporters whose passion and dedication have shaped CAHD into the vibrant community it is today.
For three decades, the Centre has provided a space where creativity inspires growth, meaningful connections flourish and every individual is encouraged to reach their full potential. We look forward to continuing this legacy for years to come.
