In mid-March, John O’Brien spent a week with us in St.Marys. John has visited our community several times in the last thirty years. The purpose of his visit was to provide an opportunity for reflection, a deeper look at our principles and how we move toward our vision and mission. By hosting nine gatherings during the week, John had the opportunity to meet with about 90 people connected to Community Living St.Marys and Area. If you participated in one of the group meetings, thank you!
Please see the attached report Living Our Principles To Build A Community Where Everyone Belongs (John O’Brien).
Your thoughts, opinions and ideas matter. The Board of Directors and members of the Quality Assurance Committee will be forming a small ad-hoc committee to assist in the next steps in developing a strategic plan to guide our work for the coming five years. Employees are always welcome to participate, please contact us if you are interested.

The Ministry of Community and Social Services’ (MCSS) ReportON Direct Reporting Service has been publically launched as of Wednesday, November 16, 2016.
The Government of Ontario is expanding ReportON, a new service for reporting suspected or witnessed abuse of adults with developmental disabilities. The 24/7phone line and email service is the latest step taken by the Ministry of Community and Social Services to further improve the safety of adults with developmental disabilities.
Abuse is often hard to identify. Examples can include being denied basic necessities like food, shelter, clothing or medicine. Even if you are unsure, but suspect abuse or neglect of an adult with a developmental disability, you should contact ReportON. Each call will be investigated and the appropriate action will be taken.
People can access ReportON by calling 1-800-575-2222 or emailing reportONdisability@ontario.ca. For text telephone (TTY): 416-916-0549 or Toll Free 1-844-309-1025.
