Message from the President & Executive Director

Welcome to Brampton Caledon Community Living’s Annual Report for the year 2023-2024. It is with
great pride and gratitude that we reflect on the past year and share our achievements, challenges, and
ongoing commitment to our mission and vision.

Despite the persistent challenges we face, particularly the annual shortchanging of Peel Region by the
provincial government in terms of community and social services funding compared to other large
regions, our dedication to providing exceptional support and services remains unwavering. This
funding disparity has had a significant impact on our ability to expand and enhance the services we
offer. Nevertheless, we have continued to make remarkable strides, thanks to the resilience and
dedication of our entire community.

This year, #5ToSurvive campaign has vividly illustrated how organizations like ours, whose mission is to
support people in living inclusive lives, are being starved of the financial resources they need just to
keep programs going, and to find qualified staff during a human resource crisis. In the face of rising
inflation and skyrocketing costs, it is becoming increasingly difficult to maintain the high quality of
supports and services we have been accustomed to delivering on a day-to-day basis.

Our focus this year has remained firmly on achieving the goals outlined in BCCL’s strategic plan. We
have worked diligently to empower individuals with intellectual disabilities, ensuring they lead
meaningful, inclusive lives. From expanding our virtual programing to enhancing our social media
presence and community engagement initiatives, every step we take is guided by our commitment to
inclusion, respect, and empowerment.

We are pleased to report that we have closed the financial year ending 2023-2024 with a balanced
budget. This achievement reflects our careful financial management and the support from our
community, funders, and partners. It is a testament to our collective effort and the strong foundation
upon which BCCL stands.

We extend our deepest gratitude to the families, individuals supported by BCCL, and our dedicated
employees. Your trust, hard work, and passion make a difference every day. It is your commitment that
fuels our progress and inspires us to strive for even greater heights.

We also want to express our heartfelt thanks to our funders, donors, members, volunteers, and
community partners. Your generosity and support are the cornerstones of our success.
As we look ahead, we remain dedicated to our mission and excited about the future. With your
continued support, we are confident that we will overcome challenges and achieve our vision for a
more authentic inclusive and empowering community.

Thank you for being an integral part of Brampton Caledon Community Living. We look forward to
another year of growth, collaboration, and shared success.
Sincerely,

Carmen Baker, President and Charles Rego, Executive Director
