Zoo Day 2016

Sunday, 5th June 2016 10:00 am

On Sunday June 5th, the SickKids 22q11 Deletion Syndrome Clinic and the Dalglish Family 22q Clinic co-hosted our annual 22q at the Zoo International Awareness Day at the Zoo. Even though it rained a little, we had a great day at the Toronto Zoo. This event was a great opportunity for patients (young and old) and their families to network and enjoy a day with other families and clinic staff at the Zoo.
