Highlights of the Seniors Fair include:
Free hearing tests scheduled by our partner, Beck Hearing
Access to resources and programs through the London Public Library
Assistance with pension and discretionary benefits from our internal Community Advocate
Registration for our Free Tax Program, which seniors can complete easily over the phone
This event reflects our ongoing commitment to helping seniors live independently and access essential services with dignity.

Tenant Support Fair: Connecting Renters with Vital Resources
Each year, LIFE*SPIN partners with community organizations and the City of London to host the Annual Tenant Support Fair at London City Hall. This event is dedicated to connecting renters with the information and resources they need to maintain safe and secure housing.
In 2024, 15 organizations participated, offering support across a range of tenant concerns, including:
Assistance with repair issues through direct connection to the City of London’s Enforcement Team
Guidance on the Landlord and Tenant Board process from organizations such as Neighbourhood Legal Services and Streetscape
The Tenant Support Fair serves as a vital resource hub, ensuring renters have access to the support necessary to address their housing needs.
The next Tenant Support Fair is currently being planned for March 2026.
Annual Baby Fair: Supporting Expecting Parents
Each year, LIFE*SPIN invites expecting parents in our programs to our Annual Baby Fair, where we celebrate the exciting arrival of a new baby and connect low-income parents with crucial support.
Thanks to the generosity of community members, we are able to provide vital resources and support to families welcoming a new baby, helping to prepare parents for the transition and promote healthy beginnings.
Highlights of the Baby Fair include:
Participation from a variety of local agencies, who provided information and support
A supportive and welcoming space to celebrate parenthood and build connections with other families and community agencies
Our Community Advocate connects low-income families to the Baby Layette Program, helping new parents secure a crib or car seat
The next Baby Fair is being planned for May 2026.
