helping families in ottawa, canada become self-sufficient contributing members of society
On a cool, cloudy day in May, the LEAP workers of Ontario Works brought fun and colour to an otherwise very grey day. Once again, they organized a very successful day-long conference for their clients at Algonquin College. Of course, many Youville Centre students and staff were in attendance, enjoying all the events and activities.
The day's highlights included display booths from a wide range of groups and organizations in Ottawa that deliver services to LEAP clients. Among the many services on display were representatives from such diverse groups as Planned Parenthood, Operation Come Home, the Bethany Hope Centre, St. Mary's Home and Outreach Centre, the Youth Services Bureau, the Youville Centre, the Wabano Centre for Aboriginal Health and many others as well. In addition to these groups, a number of interesting workshops were available for clients to attend.
Excellent snacks, lunch, musical entertainment and prizes made for a very well-rounded and worthwhile day.
