🤝 Stronger Communities Through Collaboration!

Breaking Down Barriers Independent Living Resource Centre (BDB ILRC) is proud to be a member of the Central Community Support Services Network!

Our Executive Director, Teresa, proudly represents BDB ILRC through her active participation in the network and its various working groups and committees. These opportunities for collaboration, learning, and shared expertise help strengthen the services and supports we provide to our communities.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to The Residences on Yonge for graciously hosting the network and providing a welcoming space for meaningful dialogue, learning, and connection.

Members had the opportunity to hear from presenters from the Ministry of Labour, Gerrard Kuzz law firm, participate in valuable training, and share peer insights and experiences to enhance our collective knowledge and better serve our communities.

We are grateful for the dedication and collaboration of everyone involved. By coming together, sharing resources, and learning from one another, our Community Support Services sector continues to build stronger connections, stronger communities, and brighter futures. đź’™
