The SMILE program is definitely at a high point in its existence but not without all the work that has come before it...we are now approaching its 30th year...longer than Subway has been in Atlantic Canada.
The program has seen thousands of people involved both as volunteers and and as participants and its certainly still a coin toss as to who benefits most...for now, we'll call it a tie. The number of Acadia Students who spend their time each week and every program day is remarkable and now totaling 281 people per semester.
Everyone you go around the valley people have heard of the program and a large portion have been involved or witnessed its impact one way or another...The program looks forward to carrying well into the next 30 years and with the continued support of volunteers, parents, participants, community members, Acadia University and SMILE enthusiasts, it will continue to provide an opportunity for growth and development for all pieces involved
