The JHSC would like to share some very important information regarding decorative flowerpots on your patio, balcony, deck or porch. These flowerpots often contain peat moss (mixed with potting soil.) There is a potential for these pots to catch fire. Due to extremely dry and hot conditions, the peat moss may spontaneously combust and begin to smolder, with the potential of a bigger fire. This situation occurred this week at a CLGW home. Thankfully no one was injured and the fire was extinguished. There was damage to the house but it could have been much worse. We are asking the site reps to move these planters away from the program to a safe location. If your program rep is on vacation, please have another member of your team do this.
Your prompt attention in this matter is greatly appreciated!!

Hi everyone: You will recall that last year we decided to recognize our employees by having an Employee Recognition month in September. We ensured that folks were recognized within their team environment and including the people we support in some cases. We also had a Staff Recognition booklet prepared as well and used that information as part of our internal intranet postings. Feedback received was very positive and so based on this we have decided to continue with this process! If you are receiving a service award this calendar year, you will be contacted by Human Resources within the next month with the details on what you may select as your gift. If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to contact the Human Resources Department. Thanks everyone!

The Ministry of Community and Social Services is holding focus groups with individuals and families that take part in ministry-funded services and supports. We want to better understand what things in life you would like developmental services to help you or your family member achieve. Individuals and families who receive/take part in developmental services and supports are invited to participate in a focus group. Your feedback will have no impact on your services, and will be confidential and voluntary. Your individual responses or information will not be published. The ministry values feedback from individuals and their families on their experiences and we recognize that ongoing engagement is key to making meaningful improvements to the developmental services system. In mid-July focus groups will be held in: • London For specific dates and times of each focus group, please refer to the online registration form. If you’re interested and you live within 100 kilometres of any of these locations, please reply to the ministry before Sunday July 3rd by completing an online registration form using this URL/link: http://fluidsurveys.com/s/DS_focusgroup_registration Or you can call Darren Cyr in MCSS’ Policy Research and Analysis Branch (PRAB) at 416-314-4640. We will send you the address and details when we follow-up to confirm your participation. Each focus group will last 1.5 – 2 hours. These focus groups are voluntary and will not affect the supports that individuals are currently receiving. In appreciation for your time, you will receive a light meal, and we will cover transportation costs (e.g., public transit, taxi, mileage) and other eligible expenses (e.g., parking, personal support worker if needed) (receipts required). Should you have any questions about these focus groups please contact Darren Cyr at the ministry at 416-314-4640 or email REU@ontario.ca |
