The Countess of Wessex lent a hand Thursday as a new autism centre was announced to bring education, life training skills and research together on a central campus in Toronto.

The Kae Martin Campus will be the first of its kind in Canada, organizers said, and will help put autistic children on a path toward self-sufficiency.

“We hope it can be a template that can be replicated not only in Ontario but across Canada, where the private sector puts the capital to build it and the public sector puts the operating dollars in to run it,” said Steve Hudson, co-chair of the Spectrum of Hope Autism Foundation.

Sophie, the wife of the Queen’s youngest son, Prince Edward, has been a patron of causes related to helping autistic children for years, Hudson noted.
