BCCL Newsletter Winter 2024

As the holiday season approaches, I want to take a moment to reflect on the
remarkable year we’ve shared at Brampton Caledon Community Living. This year
has been filled with milestones, hard work, and accomplishments that beautifully
capture the heart and dedication of everyone at Brampton Caledon Community
Living. The holidays are a time to celebrate, connect, and show kindness to one another.
Let us embrace this season of giving and gratitude, cherishing the relationships
and moments that make our organization prosper.
Wishing you and your loved ones a joyous and peaceful holiday season, and
a New Year filled with health and happiness.

BCCL Newsletter Winter 2024

In the month of February, join us in championing Inclusive Education

This month, join BCCL in championing inclusive education. Inclusive classrooms not only support students with intellectual disabilities but also create richer learning experiences for all. When schools, parents, teachers, and students embrace inclusion, the entire community benefits.

At BCCL, our Service Coordinators and Early Childhood Education ( ECE) Resource Consultants promote inclusion by believing that every student deserves the opportunity to learn, grow and thrive together.

Our ECE Resource Consultants:

  • Provide information and strategies to child care providers and families
  • Collaborate with child care providers to foster a positive learning experience for all children
  • Offer resources and support to families
  • Work together with child care providers to develop and implement Individual Program Plans (IPPs)
  • Partner with other professionals to ensure holistic support
  • Assist families with school transitions

Stay tuned this month as BCCL highlights the significance of Inclusive Education!

Historic funding disparities between the developmental services and other sectors

BCCL has joined forces with other agencies as well as Community Living Ontario to advocate for an immediate 5% increase to base funding for developmental service providers as well as families (SSAH &Passports).
Historic funding disparities between the developmental services and other sectors such as health and education are having a critical impact on this sector.
BCCL and other agencies across the province have been writing to and meeting with local MPPs and the Minister of Children Community & Social Services to make our voices heard.
