Community Living Dryden to provide
community living services in the Sioux Lookout and
Hudson area
Following a recent review of developmental services
currently provided in Sioux Lookout, an opportunity was
identified to ensure the stability of client service
delivery through partnership with Community Living
Dryden.
The Board of Directors of Community Living Dryden in
conjunction with the Board of Directors of Community
Living Sioux Lookout wish to announce that Community
Living Dryden will assume responsibility for service
delivery in Sioux Lookout beginning July 1, 2008. Due to
financial challenges at the Community Sioux Lookout
agency the ministry has asked that we undertake this
step in an effort to maintain the existing levels of
client services and ensure stability in service
delivery.
This will entail a period of transition in which both
agencies will work cooperatively to develop a transition
plan.
The goal of both organizations is to ensure stable
service delivery and to improve services for clients and
families in both communities. Both Boards will be
actively involved to ensure a seamless transition
process whereby no disruption in service delivery
occurs.
We wish to assure all clients and families that no
interruption of services will occur and that everyone
will continue to receive the same level of service they
are currently receiving. In addition, we wish to assure
all frontline staff that no reductions of frontline
positions are anticipated as a result of this change.
The vision for the future is to have one organization
with proportionate representation from both communities
on the Board of Directors. As part of this partnership
between the two communities, consultations will occur
with clients and families from both communities to
ensure stakeholders are fully informed and are part of a
process to develop a long-term strategic vision to shape
services and supports.
We look forward to working with all stakeholders as we
undertake this process to shape and improve the delivery
of developmental services in our communities.
