We’re concerned about the future for people with developmental disabilities and developmental service providers.
The ongoing funding crisis is pushing our organization and the people we support to a critical and unsustainable level. These services are not luxuries — they are lifelines that assist people with developmental and
intellectual disabilities in their daily activities, enabling them to live and work in their
communities while also offering support and respite for their families.
With growing demand and limited resources, the message is clear: it’s time for the people of Ontario to act now and ensure no one is left behind!

“If things continue to decline, my mom is 77, and we won’t have her here forever. She’s not capable of taking care of my brother, John.”

This crisis is putting pressure on other essential services like long-term care, EMS, public health, mental and physical health, substance use treatment, and social services. These systems are already at capacity, and it could affect you or someone you love when support is needed most.
