BCCL Newsletter Winter

BCCL is proud of the diversity among people supported, families and
employees. The holiday season represents something different for each of us
but there is always a common theme we share; showing compassion to those
less fortunate and gathering with loved ones to celebrate the holidays and ring
in the new year.
This holiday season, I wish everyone good health, good fortune and peace!
Happy Holidays!

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.
Please join us in these advocacy efforts by clicking on the image below and a post card will be sent in your name.

NATIONAL DAY FOR TRUTH & RECONCILIATION

BCCL would like to honor the residential school survivors and their families and to remember those who never made it home. Since May of 2021, well over 5000 bodies of Indigenous children have been recovered at former residential schools across Canada.  September 30th will now be recognized and called The National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.
