The Germain Street Open is an annual "urban golf" tournament set amongst the homes, businesses and offices of Uptown Saint John. All proceeds are in support of L'Arche Saint John's artistic day program: Creative Connections. 

L'Arche Saint John is a community of people with and without intellectual disabilities, sharing life together in Saint John, New Brunswick. Their mission is to make known the gifts of people with intellectual disabilities, revealed through mutually transforming relationships. L’Arche Saint John is part of an International Federation creating homes and day programs with adults with intellectual disabilities.

Each weekday, artists, staff and volunteers come together at Creative Connections, in the heart of Uptown Saint John, to create beautiful art, find social connection and build a place of belonging. 
Artists from Creative Connections have sold pieces that hang in homes around the globe - snapped up by visitors in the region who admire their individuality. The artwork stands as testaments to the beauty of a world where everyone belongs.
Creative Connections is so much more than just an art studio and gallery, though. Through art and social connection, their artists gain confidence, emotional health, and have the freedom to be themselves. They are able to engage in the world around us, having accessible and meaningful conversations about social justice issues and world events. They focus on making a space that welcomes everyone, fostering compassion, emotional health, personal growth and a profound sense of belonging for all. 
Together, we can create a world where everyone belongs.
