Ottawa Spring Dinner & Direct Funding

This page is sponsored by

Spring is here and so is our return to in-person Peer Connections! Join us on Thursday, April 23 at 5:30 PM for our Spring Reunion Dinner at the Ottawa Independent Living Resource Centre. We’re pleased to welcome guest presenter and Direct Funding Facilitator, Ximena Rodriguez. Enjoy a delicious meal, socialize, and gain valuable insights on Direct Funding and how individuals with disabilities can access funding to take greater control of their own attendant services, including hiring, scheduling, and managing their own care. As always, we gratefully acknowledge the support of our Ottawa Peer Program sponsor, Bergeron Clifford LLP. On-site attendant care will be available thanks to Whimble!

Le printemps est arrivé et nos rencontres peer connections en personne sont de retour! Joignez-vous à nous le jeudi 23 avril à 17h30 pour notre souper de retrouvailles printanières au Centre de vie autonome d’Ottaw. Nous sommes heureux d’accueillir notre conférencière invitée et facilitatrice du programme financement direct, Ximena Rodriguez. Profitez d’un délicieux repas, échangez avec la communauté et découvrez le programme de Financement direct, notamment comment les personnes en situation de handicap peuvent accéder à du financement pour mieux gérer leurs services de soins — y compris l’embauche, la planification et la gestion de leurs propres soins. Comme toujours, nous remercions chaleureusement notre commanditaire du programme de pairs d’Ottawa, Bergeron Clifford LLP. Des services de soins sur place seront offerts grâce à Whimble!
