Community Living Guelph Wellington is joining in with other developmental service providers and provincial organizations requesting immediate action and support from the Ministry of Children, Community and Social Services.

Developmental Services organizations across our region are experience significant financial pressure to delivering their programs and services.

On behalf of Community Living Guelph Wellington, we support Community Living Ontario (CLO), Ontario Coalition of Rape Crisis Centres (OCRCC), Ontario Association of Interval and Transition Houses (OAITH), Ontario Agencies Supporting People with Special Needs (OASIS), and Family Service Ontario (FSO) in sending a multi-sector joint letter directed to The Honourable Minister Michael Parsa, Minister of Children, Community and Social Services (MCCSS). This letter is valuable for our community as it expresses the ongoing issue surrounding agencies funded under the Ministry of Children, Community and Social Services (MCCSS) who are being affected by rising costs and have not received sufficient increases to meet ongoing demands.

Below is the full letter, sent on September 25, 2023, to The Hon. Minister Michael Parsa, Minster of Children, Community and Social Services.
