Big news!! Thank you @CLOntario for your grant which is making this event possible!
So excited for our event and to have Partners for Planning joining us is amazing! Mark your calendars!
Thank you to everyone who rallied around Ontario on this important issue! Together we can do great things!!
Yesterday, TBFN met with MP @PattyHajdu and it was a very productive meeting! We are grateful for the opportunity to discuss the DSW education crisis with Minister Hadju and thankful for her letter to Minister @MarcMillerVM expressing our concerns and requesting further info!
We choose our words carefully and don’t use terms like catastrophic lightly. We know that our region and Ontario are facing a crisis if we lose our #Disability workforce! @MarcMillerVM you can make all the difference and help struggling families!

We don’t use the term “catastrophic” lightly and we call on the federal government to recognize the essential needs in the disability sector! @MarcMillerVM @PattyHajdu

Today’s the day! Our town hall on the DSW crisis happening at noon! Both in person and on Zoom. Show your support for disability services that are an essential service!! #Disability
Please join us for a special town hall, supported by OPSEU/SEFPO, to discuss the looming crisis in Developmental Services! Everyone is welcome and we are especially seeking families willing to share their concerns and they will be given preference for speaker time! #Disability
I am happy to say that the response thus far to our advocacy campaign has been incredible. We have heard from the College, elected officials, unions, and many families and supporters. Now we need everyone to get LOUD! #disabilty tbfn.ca/developmental-servic…
