Our group at the Bill 77 Hearings - Toronto, summer 2008
Our focus/committees
- Residential Concerns
This committee is dedicated to the residential concerns for these young (and not so young) people.
With an aging population we need to act now to ensure suitable residential care for the future.
We understand there are budgetary concerns in setting up suitable homes. Our organization is attempting to form a cohesive unit which will have the ability to relate our concerns to government bodies with the hopeful result of providing more homes. We are interested in forming alliances with similar groups across Ontario.
- Community Base Sites
These base sites have been set up in cooperation with Community Living Mississauga. Currently there are three base sites in Mississauga run by CLM. They offer varied and interesting day activities for the individuals they support. The activities vary from horseback riding, swimming, music, computers to walks around the community.
- Respite Services
The need for respite services is often overlooked. We have an active committee reviewing the available services and how they Ŕcan be better integrated to better serve our community.
- We are building our infrastructure of committees. Specifically, Residential, Transportation, Fund raising & Public Relations. We do encourage, and welcome, interested individuals to join us.
