A Canadian network of therapeutic clowns

Dr Clown is proud to have established, in collaboration with Therapeutic Clowns Canada (Toronto), the first Internet network for Canadian therapeutic clowns.  This group makes it possible to stay in touch with other programs - in spite of the distance between Vancouver and Montreal, by way of Winnipeg and Toronto - and to share our experiences, reflections, the development of our programs, and any other subjects that relate to our profession (training, conferences, publications, research, ethics, etc.).  The main goal of the group is to support high-quality and professional work among therapeutic clowns in Canada.

We collaborate with therapeutic clowning programs in the following Canadian cities:

Vancouver : Paul Hooson (Doc Willikers)
     B.C. Children's hospital
Winnipeg : David Langdon (Hubert et Onri)
     Winnipeg's Children Hospital
Windsor : Fools for Health (Bernie Warren)
     Windsor Regional Hospital (WRH) - Western and Metropolitan campuses
     Hôtel-Dieu Grace Hospital
     Leamington District Memorial Hospital
     Richmond Terrace Nursing Home
Toronto : Therapeutic Clown Program (Joan Barrington)
     The Hospital for Sick Children, Toronto
     Credit Valley Hospital, Mississauga
Ottawa : Ruth Cull
     CHEO: Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario, Ruth Cull
