and
dr.
Messrs

from
Montreal
to

this
award
so
we're
very,
very
honored
to
have
you
join
us
this
morning
in
October
2013
at
the
annual
summit
for
urban
animal
strategies.
D
Now,
Berta,
the
community
veterinary
outreach
program
and
the
City
of
Ottawa
by
law
and
regulatory
services,
spay
neuter
clinic,
were
recognized
by
their
industry
peers
with
the
community
collaboration
award.
This
award
sponsored
by
the
Canadian
Veterinary
Medical
Association,
recognizes
programs,
codes
of
conduct
or
best
practices
delivered
to
create
a
healthier
environment
for
urban
animals.
It
also
allows
for
the
opportunity
to
illuminate
successful
strategies
for
urban
animals
and
to
acknowledge
those
who
lead
the
City
of
Ottawa,
spay,
neuter
clinic
was
established
in
1978
to
provide
accessible
dog
and
cat
spay/neuter
services
to
Ottawa
residents.
D
There
are
services
available
to
those
animals
doctor
LEM,
the
founder
and
director
of
the
community
of
veterinary
outreach
program,
established
the
program
in
Ottawa
in
2003
to
meet
the
growing
need
for
integration
of
veterinary
education
and
care
in
the
community,
operating
from
a
college
of
veterinary
veterinarians
of
Ontario
licensed
companion,
animal
mobile
and
staffed
with
volunteers.
Animals
are
examined,
vaccinated
treated
for
internal
and
external
parasites
and
implanted
with
a
microchip
owners
also
receive
valuable
education
and
advice
on
nutrition,
dental
care,
behavior
and
benefits
of
sterilization
of
their
pets.
D
During
the
past
10
years,
over
1,500
animals
have
been
treated
and
vaccinated
and
demand
continues
to
grow
for
these
services.
Community
veterinary
outreach
uses
the
services
of
the
city's
spay/neuter
clinic
facilities
for
its
animal
patients
and
the
veterinarians
and
staff
at
the
clinic
performed
the
surgeries.
This
service
is
provided
completely
on
a
voluntary
basis
by
the
technicians
at
the
clinic.
This
is
a
great
example
of
a
partnership
that
reaches
out
to
the
less
fortunate
within
our
city
and
provides
for
the
health
and
welfare
of
their
companion.
D
Animals
and
I
would
say
it's
just
one
other
way
in
which
our
city
demonstrates
that
it
is
a
caring
and
compassionate
City
for
all
of
those
who
live
in
it.
I'd
now
like
to
ask
dr.
Messer
and
dr.
LEM
and
dr.
perc
ready
to
come
forward
and,
on
behalf
of
the
City
of
Ottawa
and
your
industry,
peers
I'm
pleased
to
present
you
with
this
community
collaboration
award,
we're
gonna
hand
it
off
and
have
a
little
picture
here.
D
Well,
doctors
collaboratively
congratulations
to
to
you
on
on
receiving
the
award
and
congratulations
to
everyone
involved
in
receiving
the
award
and
in
your
program
in
closing
and
in
recognition
of
the
February
being
spay
neuter
Awareness
Month
in
the
in
the
in
North
America
Mayor
Jim
Watson
will
be
proclaiming
Tuesday
February
25th
2014
as
spay
neuter
Awareness
Day
in
the
City
of
Ottawa.
That
wraps
up
our
presentation
this
morning,
but
we
want
to
thank
you
very
much
again
for
coming
out.
D
D
All
right
so,
with
members
present
we're
going
to
get
underway
at
the
community
and
Protective
Services
Committee,
meeting
Thursday
20th
of
February
2014,
and
that
we
have
quorum
of
the
committee.
We
have
received
their
regrets
from
deputy
mayor
Alcantara
he's
not
going
to
be
able
to
join
us
today,
we're
going
to
go
through
consent
agenda.
D
We
do
have
a
presentation
this
morning
from
our
partners
at
the
United
Way,
which
we
expect
to
take
about
30
to
45
minutes,
so
we're
going
to
hold
that
right
off
of
the
bats
and
move
through
a
consent
agenda
and
see
what
we
can
dispose
of
quickly
and
efficiently.
Here,
some
members
of
the
committee.
Are
there
any
declarations
of
interest?
D
D
D
Members
of
committee
received
the
report
as
well
as
memo
that
I
had
sent
around
on
this.
Is
there
any
desire
to
hold
this
or
shall
we
carry
it?
Teri
carried?
Thank
you
very
much
and
thanks
to
councillor
Tierney
as
well
that
the
online
portion
will
help
streamline
it's
an
animal
day
here.
It'll
help
streamline
things
for
animal
lovers,
citywide.
D
That's
right
item
number
five
donation
of
ambulance
to
the
Salvation
Army.
This
said
this
was
my
item
presented
last
time
as
a
notice
that
the
community
in
Protective
Services,
Committee,
waives
subsection
41
for
under
the
city's
purchasing
bylaw
and
approved
the
donation
of
one
ambulance
to
the
Governing
Council
of
the
Salvation
Army
in
Canada,
as
detailed
in
the
report,
I
would
remind
folks
that
this
is
an
ambulance
that
they
use
to
support
many
of
our
emergency
endeavors
and
come
out
the
Moody
Drive
fire.
For
example.
E
D
F
Speak
to
that,
thank
you
very
much.
Mr.
Chanin
just
want
to
make
a
comment
about
the
successfulness
of
this
program
over
the
past
five
years,
and
the
application
date
for
this
year
is
April.
Look
third,
the
deadline
for
application
for
doing
more
good
work
in
the
community,
so
I
just
want
to
take
the
opportunity
to
thank
everybody.
That's
involved
in
this
program
and,
as
you
can
like
I
said
earlier,
it's
a
five-year,
successful
story
and
hopefully
we'll
continue
further.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Mr.
Wayne
thank.
D
You
very
much
vice
chair
cadre
and
thank
you
for
your
leadership
on
that
program
and
with
crime
prevention
Ottawa
in
general,
and
if
you
do
take
the
time
to
read
the
report,
you'll
notice
that
the
number
of
individuals
who
were
engaged
in
the
program
has
actually
been
growing
over
the
years.
The
number
of
kids
and
I
always
say
kids,
but
there's
adults
involved
to
come
out
and
participate
in
that
program.
D
So
it's
great
to
see
that
community
engagement,
councilor
flurry
does
have
one
item
which
he
has
some
time-sensitive
commitments
today
and
may
not
be
able
to
be
with
us
for
the
full
committee
now
I
had
given
a
committee
notice
through
a
memo
that
there
was
one
item
that
he
wanted
to
move
so
with
committees.
Permission
I'd
like
to
allow
him
to
do
that
now
and
then
get
back
to
our
two
held
items.
Is
there
any
objection
so
we'll
need
to
waive
the
rules?
Councilor
flurry?
D
E
E
And
then
I've
shared
with
I've
shared
this
with
committee
and
I
before
I,
go
in
I
wanted
to
recognize
members
in
attendance.
So
we
have
members
from
markets
management
team.
We
have
members
from
the
borrowed
markets
and
all
those
association,
some
craft
media
I,
think
I
saw
a
Jasna
from
the
BIA
who's
back
there.
So
I
know
that
this
is
a
walk-on
and
we
don't
like
to
do
that.
The
reason
why
we're
doing
these
changes
are
a
couple.
A
couple
of
elements.
E
One
is
that
contracts
for
this
summer
are
signed
as
of
March
1st,
and
if
we
miss
that
period
we
were
basically
stuck
in
the
same
same
framework
as
the
previous
year.
As
you
know,
we
want
to
prepare
the
market
for
2017
and
that's
a
plan
we're
working
towards,
but
this
summer
there's
an
action
plan
that
was
shared
with
the
members.
It's
a
14-point
plan
to
really
try
to
try
to
position
the
market
and
prepare
it
in
doing
things
so
we're
gonna,
pallet,
three,
three
main
elements
this
summer,
one
being
the
savor
Ottawa
stand.
E
There
also
be
a
key
area
where
we
will
do
demonstration
stands
for
food,
and
especially
local
food
in
the
area
and
we'll
launch
this
summer,
a
night
market,
and
for
us
to
be
able
to
do
that.
We
need
to
do
some
amendments
to
the
bylaws.
So
that's.
What
we're
doing
today
is
we're
bringing
forward
amendments
that
will
enable
us
to
pilot
thing
as
the
summer
see
if
they
work,
if
they
work,
we'll
continue
to
try
to
improve
the
market
and
if
they
don't
work
well,
will
realign
them.
So
the
it's.
E
D
So,
thank
you
very
much
councillor
flurry.
So
there's
a
number
of
there
are
a
number
of
be
it
resolves,
but
if
we
boil
it
down
yeah
staffer
in
support
of
this,
and
if
we
boil
it
down
to
the
summative
clause,
its
be
it
resolved
that
City
Council
approve
amendments
to
the
Byward
market
program,
bylaw
number
2,
0,
0,
8,
4,
4,
9,
a
set
out
and
document
one
attached,
effective,
March
1st
2014
remembers
the
committee.
Is
this
carry
carry
carry.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
yep.
D
Thank
you
very
much
councillor
flurry
and
congratulations
on
getting
that
move
forward.
It's
we
all
have
parts
of
our
Ward
that
are
require
a
lot
of
management.
I
know
the
bile
up
by
word.
Market
is
a
big
piece
of
your
ward.
That
requires
a
lot
of
your
attention.
So
thank
you
very
much
so
that
brings
us
back
to
the
verbal
update
from
the
United
Way
and
I
would
invite
down
I
believe
Rhonda,
Bradley,
Michael,
Allen
and
Jamie
McCracken
are
coming
forward.
D
E
You
mr.
chair,
on
behalf
of
United
Way
Ottawa
I'd,
like
to
thank
how
the
committee
for
having
us
here
today.
This
is
part
of
our
ongoing
commitment
to
you
to
inform
you
and
keep
you
up
to
date
of
the
progress
of
our
work
on
every
year,
you're
in
a
very
important
partner
for
United
Way.
We
really
appreciate
this
opportunity
to
give
you
some
context.
E
Like
many
United
Way's
in
the
past
ten
years,
we've
had
to
have
a
real
hard
look
at
the
work
we
do
for
many
years
we
were
a
federated
fundraiser,
and
that
meant
we
raised
a
lot
of
money
and
we
distributed
it
far
and
wide
in
our
community.
But,
like
many
United
Way's
donors
began
to
ask
questions
about
exactly
where
was
the
money
going
and
they
wanted
us
to
direct
aligned
from
that
gift
directly
to
where
it
was
ending
up
and
so
over
the
course
of
a
number
of
years.
E
Through
many
consultations
and
research,
we
landed
on
10
priority
goals
in
three
focus
areas:
growing
up
great
belonging
to
community
and
turning
lives
around
and
those
10
goals
have
guided
our
work
over
the
last
three
or
four
years,
and
today
you're
going
to
hear
some
of
the
results
of
that
work
and
the
progress
towards
those
results.
What
we're
about
is
complex
and
it's
hard
just
like
the
work
that
this
committee
does
and
this
city
does.
In
Ottawa
last
night
we
were
lauded
as
the
second
most
livable
city
in
North
America.
E
But,
as
you
know,
there
were
two
neighborhoods,
the
neighborhood
of
Hope,
in
which
we
live,
many
of
us
and,
of
course,
the
neighborhood
of
despair,
and
that's
where
we
direct
the
focus
of
our
work.
We
can't
do
this
alone.
This
is
a
collective
impact
area,
lots
of
organizations
and
agencies
and
the
City
of
Ottawa
and
United
Way
Ottawa
work
together
to
improve
the
lives
of
those
who
need
our
help
in
this
city,
and
that's
what
we're
about
today.
E
G
Thank
You
Jamie
and
once
again
chair
and
councillors.
Thank
you
for
this
opportunity
for
United
Way
and
a
number
of
our
colleagues
within
the
community
sector
to
be
before
you.
Today.
We
are
before
you
today,
as
both
staff
and
volunteers,
to
talk
about
the
work
we
do
and,
moreover,
to
begin
to
sculpt
the
number
and
growing
number
of
intersections
that
our
work
has
with
with
so
many
others,
but
not
of
course,
the
least
of
which
is
the
City
of
Ottawa.
G
We
see
this
as
an
opportunity,
as
we
were
urged
to
do
to
continue
to
demonstrate
a
growing
opportunity
of
growing
role
for
United
Way
to
be
a
voice
for
the
community
sector,
a
voice
that
we
believe
is
important.
Around
tables
like
this,
within
the
context
of
municipal,
provincial
and
federal
governments,
to
be
a
voice
that
is
progressive
and
responsible
and
reasoned
in
advocating
for
the
work
that
is
done
within
this
sector.
G
Let
me
pick
up
on
Jamie's
comments
for
a
moment
and
and
just
ask
to
you
to
recall
the
transformation
that
United
Way
has
been
on
in
the
path
we
have
been
on.
It
will
be
trite
to
say
to
elected
officials
that
our
path
has
not
been
an
easy
one,
with
with
not
easy
choices
with
hard
decisions
and,
and
the
likelihood
is
that
there
will
continue
to
be
tough
choices.
That
is
certainly
not
news
for
elected
officials.
G
We
share
a
common
interest
in
helping
immigrants
and
new
Canadians
to
integrate
successfully
to
social
rec
connect.
We
help
we
hope
we
have.
We
help
more
children,
access,
social
and
recreational
opportunities
outside
of
school
project
step
that
works
very
hard
at
lowering
the
instance
of
youth
drug
addictions.
Together,
our
investments
in
the
community
development
framework
are
helping
to
develop
strength
in
our
more
vulnerable
neighborhoods
and
to
the
Ottawa
neighborhood
study.
G
The
work
of
your
committee
overseas
is
critical
to
maintaining
the
kind
of
Ottawa
where
people
want
to
live
work
and
raise
families.
How
well
we
do
this
in
areas
affected,
affects
our
capacity
to
attract
business
and
talent,
and
it
bears
a
direct
impact
on
our
collective
quality
of
life,
as
I
said
earlier,
we've
knowledge
the
difficult
decisions
that
any
government
has
to
make
in
a
very
dynamic
political
landscape,
a
growing
and
changing
community
with
limited
resources,
multiple
competing
priorities
and
I
commend
you
to
that
work.
G
Our
job
here
today
is
to
speak
on
behalf
of
the
community
sector,
the
important
work
that
it
represents
and
be
more
consistent
about
that.
Please
allow
me
to
introduce
my
volunteer
and
staff
colleague,
Geoffrey
Dale,
who
is

Everyone
before
Jeff
offers
some
insights
and,
in
terms
of
some
of
the
results
that
we've
achieved,
I
would
like
to
put
into
context
the
what
we
believe
is
critical
to
to
achieve
system-wide
change
in
our
community.
For

to
happen.

does
require
for

to
put

individual
agendas,
does
require
us
to
engage

does

to

F
Thanks
Kel
good
morning
counselors
as
Jamie
and
Michael
had
mentioned,
United
Way
Ottawa
said
ten
priority
goals
in
2008
and
to
refresh
your
memories.
They
are
lowering
number
of
children
who
starts
school
unready
to
learn,
helping
more
at-risk
children
and
youth
succeed
through
after-hours
programs
create
meaningful
employment
opportunities
for
people
with
disabilities,
helping
more
seniors,
maintain
their
independence
and
state
active,
supporting
people
living
in
vulnerable
neighborhoods,
bring
the
immigrants
and
new
Canadians,
together
with
employers
to
find
jobs
that
match
their
skills,
helping
more
homeless
people
off
the
streets
through
housing.
F
First
initiatives
connecting
more
people
with
mental
health
and
addiction
issues,
with
the
supports
that
they
need
and
our
last
one
is
providing
support
and
treatment
for
people
and
families
in
crisis.
Many
of
these
issues
will
sound
very
familiar
to
you.
In
many
cases
they
are
issues
where
our
work
intersects
or
where
we
are
already
collaborating
and
some
of
these
areas
we
are
making
progress
in
others.
We
have
still
have
far
to
go.
I
would
like
to
bring
you
some
of
the
specifics
and
we've
brought
with
us
later
copies
of
our
most
recently
published
results
report.
F
But
what
I
can
tell
you
is
that
in
the
areas
where
we
are
adopting
a
collective
impact
approach,
we
are
beginning
to
see
true
positive
change.
Let
me
offer
you
one
of
our
most
promising
examples
to
date.
This
example
begins
with
a
couple
of
facts.
One
in
six
people
with
a
disability
live
in
poverty.
F
Ottawa
is
about
17%
behind
the
national
average
in
terms
of
engaging
people
with
disabilities
in
our
workforce.
The
long-term
view
of
Ottawa's
labor
market
projects,
an
impending
skill
shortage
as
labor
demands,
surpass
a
supply,
meaning
that
Ottawa
has
to
enhance
our
productivity
of
our
labor
force
in
order
to
be
able
to
meet
our
growth
requirements.
From
any
perspective,
this
seems
to
be
an
area
need
of
our
attention.
To
that
end.
F
A
couple
of
years
ago,
we
convened
a
number
of
community
stakeholders
and
formed
a
local
initiative
known
as
earn
employment
accessibility,
resource
network
of
which
the
city
is
a
member
employer
simply
put
earn,
is
a
community
initiative
that
brings
together
more
than
30
employers,
service
providers,
funders
and
government
leaders,
with
the
express
goal
of
increasing
opportunities
for
meaningful
employment
for
people
with
disabilities.
By
providing
these
employment
opportunities,
we
are
not
only
helping
people
with
disabilities
find
a
pathway
out
of
poverty.
F
We
are
helping
employers
access,
a
virtually
untapped
talent
pool
and
it's
increasing
the
likelihood
of
them.
Finding
the
right
person
for
the
job
earn
remains
still
in
early
days,
but
a
collective
effort
so
far
have
yielded
some
great
results.
We
have
helped
over
1,100
people
with
disabilities
to
access
employment
supports.
We
have
helped
500
and
453
people
with
mental
health
challenges
participate
into
vocational
supports.
We
have
delivered
over
20
educational
and
networking
events
since
2011.
F
We
have
provided
resources,
advice
and
information
to
over
140
HR
professionals,
and
we
have
helped
over
85
people
find
employment
within
the
National
Capital
Region.
We
have
far
to
go,
but
we
believe
that
this
model
is
an
effective
vehicle
for
large-scale
community-wide
system
change.
We
would
like
to
see
the
methodology
a
pry
applied
to
a
greater
number
of
community-wide
issues,
because
we
believe
that
where
it
is
applied,
we
will
have
far
better
results
and
our
community
will
move
forward
with
better
outcomes
than
any
of
us
could
achieve
alone
with
that
I.
Thank
you.
Thank.
E
You
Jeff,
as
you
can
see,
our
theme
today
is
measureable
outcomes
and
collective
impact,
and
to
that
end
we
with
us
some
senior
leaders
in
our
community
who
will
testify
to
this
fight
so
with
your
indulgence,
I'd
like
to
ask
them
forward
on
to
give
some
further
elucidation
on
these
matters.
Thank
you.
Thank.
D
You
very
much
mr.
McCracken,
so
I
believe
first
is
Goldie
Hyder
co-chair
of
the
United
Way
campaign
Goldie.
If
you
want
to
come
on
down
and
just
as
a
reminder,
each
speaker
has
five
minutes
and
then
we'll
hold
for
questions
afterwards
from
members
of
the
committee
whenever
you're
ready,
coldy
the
floor.
Sure's
thank.
B
You
very
much
so
mr.
chairman,
good
morning
to
you
Bonjour
and
assalamu
alaikum.
Let
me
begin
by
offering
my
appreciation
for
the
a
tremendous
campaign
work
done
here
by
the
city
of
ottawa,
led
by
Dan
Chen
a
yourself
mr.
chair,
Mark,
Taylor
and
Matthew
flowy,
my
predecessor
when
they
said
next
generation
to
him.
I
guess
they're,
really
not
next
generation
from
you
to
me.
B
I
was
privileged
to
speak
at
the
launch,
show
back
in
September,
just
a
bama
hall
and
as
a
citizen
I
want
to
say
thank
you
for
leading
by
example,
when
I
was
asked
to
be
co-chair
of
the
United
Way
campaign.
With
that
Barbara
cook,
it
was
quite
an
honor
and
that
certainly
very
humbling
part
of
what
attracted
me
to
the
community
to
the
opportunity.
There
was
a
chance
to
make
a
difference,
not
just
in
the
community
but
to
the
future
of
the
United
Way.
B
My
business
perspectives
drew
me
to
the
world
as
what
I
have
seen
in
the
private
sector
is
now
occurring
in
the
nonprofit
sector.
Change
has
become
a
hallmark
of
my
business.
There
is
now
more
than
ever,
more
and
more
demand
for
evidence
based
decision
making,
measurement
transparency,
a
sharp
focus
and
accountability
have
become
prominent
dynamics
of
my
world,
our
world.
This
approach
is
now
greatly
needed
in
the
nonprofit
sector.
I
see
this
in
you
change
the
United
Way's
undertaking
during
my
presentations
and
discussions
with
donors.
This
transformation
resonates
with
them.
B
I
see
similar
themes,
also
resonating,
the
taxpayers
both
want,
rightfully
so
a
strong
return
on
their
investments.
Setting
this
year's
campaign
bill
was
an
important
milestone
in
the
history
of
the
United
Way's
campaign.
There
was
a
move
to
become
clearer,
more
transparent
to
the
donor,
more
accountable
for
the
results.
Donors
are
helping
us
achieve
after
80
years
after
80
years
of
setting
financial
goals
based
on
the
financial
capacity
of
the
donor
community.
B
A
very
significant
shift
has
taken
place
this
year
that
sees
the
campaign,
but
the
focus
on
what
is
needed
and
how
many
lives
can
actually
be
changed
for
the
better.
Now
this
seems
simple.
Stick
enough
that
it
actually
represents
a
very
fundamental
paradigm
shift
money
follows
message,
and
that
is
not
any
different
in
the
nonprofit
sector.
B
United,
Way
and
its
partners
strive
to
bridge
that
divide
and
stem
the
tide
were
too
many
people
who
need
to
help
the
most
run.
The
risk
of
being
left
behind
as
Barbara
and
I
visited
the
various
agencies
supported
by
the
United
Way,
and
we
spoke
with
the
people
who
benefit
from
the
services.
What
struck
us
most,
what
struck
us
most
is
the
strong
desire
to
turn
their
lives
around
to
be
able
to
stand
on
their
own
two
feet.
People
do
not
end
up
in
these
situations
by
choice.
B
It
is
a
part
of
our
nation's
promise
to
help
them
find
their
way
forward.
What
I
see
in
the
eyes
of
people
I've
had
the
privilege
to
speak
with
whether
new
immigrants
or
teenage
mothers
or
runaway
teens
seniors
suffering
in
crisis
in
loneliness
people
with
mental
health
issues
or
those
with
physical
and
intellectual
disabilities,
is
a
strong
desire
not
to
be
dependent
on
others,
a
human
instinct,
to
want
to
take
care
of
themselves
and
be
contributing
members
of
society.
B
B
However,
what
I
can
say
is
there
is
a
perfect
storm
brewing
out
there,
which
is
going
to
make
things
more
difficult
and
the
choices
before
us
even
more
so
yet
the
burden
of
leadership,
whether
for
you
as
elected
officials
or
for
organizations
and
positions
of
leadership
like
the
United
Way,
it
is
our
responsibility
to
chart
a
course
forward.
Despite
these
challenges,
these
are
in
many
ways
defining
moments
for
our
city
when
we
get
ahead
of
it.
Yes,
so
with
respect,
I
would
suggest
to
you.
B
The
time
is
now
to
make
some
of
those
tougher
decisions
and
be
prepared
to
change
things
up.
We
need
to
be
prepared
to
take
bold
steps
forward.
Try
new
approaches,
adopt
best
practices,
explore
innovative
solutions
such
as
social
impact
bonds.
Just
to
put
one
idea
on
the
table,
the
benefits
are
there
for
all
to
be
had,
and
people
are
counting
on
us
to
build
an
even
better
Ottawa
one
Ottawa.
Thank
you.
D
Thank
you
very
much.
Mr.
Eider
and
I.
Don't
think
you'll
get
any
disagreement
from
us
that
you
know
they're
just
a
desire
to
move
forward
in
that
in
that
direction.
Members
of
the
committee
are
there
questions
for
mr.
Haider
or
shall
we
move
on?
Oh.
Thank
you
very
much.
Thank
you.
The
next
presenter
is
Joanne
low,
executive
director
of
youth
services
as
low.
If
you
want
to
move
down
to
the
front,
you
have
five
minutes
from
when
you
begin.
Thank
you.
I
Thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
speak
today,
I'm
very
delighted
to
be
here
today
to
actually
talk
to
you
a
little
bit
about
a
very
particular
collective
impact
circle,
set
of
circumstances
and
approach
that
we've
undertaken
in
Ottawa
the
possibilities
and
opportunities
to
effectively
and
meaningfully
change.
Our
community
are,
in
fact
limitless
in
Ottawa
in
many
ways
where
there
is
a
common
agenda,
there's
a
where
there's
a
common
problem
that
it
tends
to
be
a
common
agenda
towards
solving
it.
I
We
all
know
that
Ottawa
is
a
highly
collaborative
community,
so
this
approach
quote
comes
quite
naturally.
One
significant
example
of
this
is
the
suicide
prevention
network
in
Ottawa
I
happen
to
have
the
honor
of
being
the
co-chair
of
that
Network
and
ysv
has
the
the
honour
of
being
one
of
the
backbone
organizations
for
that
that
organization
in
that
work.
I
Suicide,
very,
sadly,
is
the
second
leading
cause
of
death
among
ten
to
twenty
four
year-olds
in
Canada
as
a
community,
we
try
to
make
meaning
of
a
death
by
suicide.
The
impulse
to
attribute
the
tragedy
to
one
issue,
or
one
set
of
circumstances,
is
sometimes
appealing.
The
reality
is
that
suicide
is
a
shared,
complex
and
issue
that
requires
considerable
collaboration
and
a
very
comprehensive
response
there.
I
These
were
the
factors
that
were
the
impetus
to
bring
together
our
network
of
more
than
60
organizations
and
individuals
in
this
community,
representing
a
very
broad
spectrum
of
those
organizations
and
interested
people
in
our
community.
To
solve
this,
this
particular
issue.
Together
we
committed
to
spending
three
years
focusing
our
efforts
on
preventing
youth
suicide.
We
used
a
very
targeted
and
meaningful
approach,
and
the
impact
speak
for
themselves.
The
United
Way
in
the
City
of
Ottawa,
our
key
players
and
key
key
contributors
to
the
work
of
the
suicide
prevention
network.
I
More
than
almost
1,400
staff
across
agencies
attended
professional
development
opportunities
that
allow
them
to
develop
a
common
assessment
and
understanding
of
what
they
see
in
front
of
them.
When
a
young
person
is
presenting
with
suicidal
thoughts
over
600
focus,
groups
with
youth
were
conducted
to
ensure
that
we
were
on
the
right
track.
I
One
of
the
elements
of
a
collective
impact
that
you've
heard
a
little
bit
about
before
you
today
relates
to
having
common
data
or
having
common
indicators.
I
would
urge
you
to
I'd
like
to
give
you
just
a
very
small
example
of
how
that
impacts.
Our
organization,
ysp,
is
a
multi
service
organization.
We
have
350
dedicated
passionate
staff
working
across
20
sites
in
this
city,
providing
services
to
more
than
3,000
young
people
and
their
families
each
and
every
month.
I
We
have
eight
different
funders
that
cross
over
26
programs
among
all
our
four
service
areas,
each
one
of
our
programs
require.
We
has
required
a
separate
contract
that,
for
the
most
part,
requires
us
to
report
on
a
different
set
of
outcomes,
outputs
and
indicators.
If
all
of
the
funders
could
agree
on
some
or
indicators,
perhaps
five
to
ten
share
them
across
all
of
the
all
of
the
requirements,
particularly
as
they
relate
to
housing
and
mental
health,
for
example.
I
D
D
So
with
respect
to
that
collaboration
that
you
just
spoke
of
in
your
opinion,
what's
the
you
know,
what
is
the
willingness
or
the
openness
to
adopt
kind
of
that
shared
vision
or
a
shared
kind
of
set
of
practices
or
principles
among
the
service
providers
and
I
know
they
run
the
gamut
from
you
know
the
very
small
service
provider
who's?
Basically,
you
know
one
IDI
and
one
staff
all
the
way
up
to
you
know
large
organizations
like
yours,
but
you
know,
is
there
in
your
opinion?
D
I
You
know
I
I've,
given
you
one
example
you're
about
to
hear
another
one
from
my
colleague
cherry
marie
from
crossroads,
and
but
you
know
I,
what
I
would
say
is
that
we
didn't
have
to
do
an
ounce
of
recruiting
for
the
suicide
prevention
network.
People
came
because
they
wanted
to
because
they
were
interested
and
in
less
than
three
years,
we've
actually
gone
from
about
forty
organizations
to
having
almost
60
now.
I
So,
if
that
says
anything
that
speaks
volumes,
I
think
that
as
an
organization
and
I
know
that
ysb
is
not
alone
in
this,
that
we
understand
that
in
order
to
actually
change
lives
and
change
pathways
for
people
and
particularly
for
young
people,
we
actually
have
to
own
the
issue
as
a
collective,
otherwise
we're
not
working
on
the
same
path
towards
the
same
goals.
So
I
think
that
the
interest,
the
willingness
and
and
the
passion
to
do
to
work
collaboratively
is
very
high
in
this
community.
D
J
Thank
You
mr.
chair
and
members
of
council
and
was
mentioned
I'm
the
director
of
education
with
the
Ottawa
Catholic
school
board,
and
this
morning,
I
want
to
talk
to
briefly
about
a
project
that
were
very
actively
involved
in
a
very
successful
project,
entitled
project
step,
and
this
project
in
partnership
involves
various
levels
of
government,
private
sector
funders
service
providers
and
the
for
publicly
funded
school
boards
in
the
city,
and
the
main
focus
of
the
project
is
to
address
substance
abuse
in
our
schools
and
in
our
community
amongst
youth
and
I'm.
J
Sure,
as
you
can
appreciate,
substance
abuse
is
an
issue
that
knows
no
boundaries
in
every
High
School
in
Ottawa
deals
with
it
on
one
level
or
another.
So
a
little
bit
of
background
about
this
unique
partnership
in
2005,
the
directors
of
Education
of
the
four
publicly
funded
boards
identified
substance
abuse
as
a
key
issue
in
the
schools
and
one
that
needed
to
be
addressed.
At
that
time
there
was
no
strategy
or
coordinated
strategy
to
deal
with
the
problem.
A
number
of
things
happened
during
that
time
period.
J
One
of
the
things
that
did
happen
in
in
2007
was
United
Way,
with
eleven
other
partners,
launched
project
step
to
work
collaboratively
to
address
the
need
for
support,
treatment,
education
and
Prevention.
Thus,
the
acronym
staff
of
substance
abuse
issues
facing
youth
in
our
community
before
project
step.
Audibly
Ottawa
had
no
residential
facilities
to
treat
youth
in
the
city
by
2012.
Project
staff
had
raised
the
required
three
million
dollars
to
build
two
residential
treatment
facilities.
The
Dave
Smith
Youth,
the
treatment
center
for
Anglophone
youth
and
missile
fraternity
for
francophone
youth.
J
With
this
milestone
achieved,
project
step
now
focuses
on
the
same
four
areas:
treatment,
intervention,
education
and
prevention
in
our
schools
and
in
we've,
also
expanded
the
program
for
the
regular
high
schools
into
our
non
mainstream
school
setting,
as
well
and
I'm.
Pleased
to
report
that
today,
there's
a
coordinated
system
in
place
with
Rita
wood
addiction
and
Family
Services,
providing
support
to
English
schools
and
Musil
for
Trinity
providing
support
to
francophone
schools.
J
There
are
substance,
abuse,
counselors
and
every
one
of
our
high
schools
in
Ottawa
services
have
also
been
expanded
to
include
the
Robin
o
Centre
for
Aboriginal
health,
Yuval
Center,
which
is
an
education
site
for
teen
mothers
and
there's
also
a
class
from
an
academic
achievement.
Center
at
operation
come
home
for
youth
for
street
youth.
They
all
have
substance,
abuse,
counselors
working
with
them
as
well:
United
Way
and
the
Ottawa
Network
for
education
on
fie
through
and
organized
through
a
part
of
the
organization
called
the
says--
coalition
substance,
abuse,
substance,
abuse
and
youth
in
schools.
J
They
function
as
the
backbone
of
the
organization
and
work
on
behalf
of
the
funders
and
service
providers
to
provide
the
coordination
communication
and,
of
course,
the
fundraising
efforts.
So
in
terms
of
funding
us
there's
no
Ministry
of
Education
money
coming
to
this
project
at
all,
so
funding
comes
from
the
four
school
boards.
The
poor,
poor.
The
four
publicly
funded
school
boards
provide
substantial
funding,
the
Ontario
Ministry
of
Health,
the
Champlain
Lynne
Ottawa,
Public
Health.
As
mentioned
you
know,
in
the
way,
Ottawa.
J
The
Ottawa
Sens
foundation
is
a
key
partner
and
ongoing
fundraising
efforts
and
we're
just
in
the
process
of
increasing
the
fundraising
efforts
again
and
both
senator
Vern
white
and
MP
Morrell
Balaji,
who
spearheaded
the
last
campaign,
have
agreed
to
help
out
once
again
with
the
fundraising
efforts.
So
some
numbers
about
the
project
in
the
non-mainstream.
J
The
three
non
mainstream
settings
I
mentioned
over
200
forty-eight
youth
were
counseled
last
year
in
total,
over
6,000
youth
receive
prevention
and
health
promotion
activities
and
just
as
important
over
500
parents
got
the
support
they
need
and
working
through
the
schools,
and,
as
mentioned
every
high
school
in
the
city
of
Ottawa,
is
part
of
this
program.
There's
been
an
extensive
evaluation
of
the
program
and
there's
been
some
incredible
results.
Three
or
four
students
in
the
sample
group
were
able
to
reduce
or
stop
using
one
or
more
drugs.
J
So
for
ninety,
two
percent
of
those
students
who
are
dealing
with
substance
abuse
issue
to
complete
the
school
year
is
an
incredible,
less
statistic
and
one
that
means
a
lot
to
those
of
us
in
education
in
the
non
mainstream
settings.
A
71
percent
of
the
youth
reported
reduced
frequency,
sixty
percent
of
a
hundred
and
sixty
five
participating
students
improve
their
living
condition
and
I.
Think
just
as
importantly,
eighty
five
percent
of
the
youth
felt
better
about
themselves,
which
is
a
key
factor
in
terms
of
moving
ahead.
J
Self-Esteem
is
a
huge
factor
in
terms
of
success
in
school,
in
November,
2013
project
step
was
awarded
the
2013
eva's
Award
for
ending
youth
homelessness.
This
$25,000
award
recognizes
Canadian
organizations
that
demonstrate
leadership
in
preventing,
reducing
and
ending
youth
homelessness.
Project
Steph
was
one
of
four
recipients:
recipients
selected
from
among
67
applicants
across
Canada.
This
partnership
is
unique
to
Ottawa,
doesn't
exist
in
any
other
city,
and
it
goes
a
long
way
to
ensuring
that
all
students
in
the
city
will
be
successful
and
the
long
term
goal
become
contributing
members
of
society.
D
You
very
much
Julien
and
thank
you
for
the
work
that
step
is
doing
and
and
that
you're
doing
at
the
school
board.
Thank
you,
members
of
the
committee,
other
questions
for
mr.
Hanlon.
Thank
you
very
much.
A
thank
you.
Next
is
sherry
Murray
executive
director,
crossroad,
Children's,
Center
sure
you
have
five
minutes
from
when
you
start.
Thank
you
very
much
good.
A
A
That's
made
up
of
all
the
organizations
that
serve
the
core
mental
health,
but
we
also
serve
the
most
complex
needs
and
family
in
the
community,
and
so
we
have
representatives
from
all
the
organizations
and
about
four
years
ago
we
began
to
realize
that
each
one
of
us
could
do
have
some
impact,
but
together
we
could
make
all
the
difference,
and
so
we
looked
at
the
issue
of
collective
impact.
We
looked
at
the
kind
of
principles
that
you've
heard
about.
A
We
developed
a
common
sort
of
set
of
values
and
we
committed
to
forming
a
system
of
care
and
the
first
thing
that
we
did
was
we
agreed
to
all
the
things
that
you've
heard
about.
We
had
we
have
common
measurement
tools,
we
have
accountability
all
of
those
kinds
of
things,
but
we
were
a
step
further
and
we
decided
that
we
were
going
to
evaluate
how
we
actually
work
as
a
system
and
we
found
a
tool
and
we
evaluated
us
as
a
system
which
I
don't
want
to
skip
over,
because
to
answer
your
question.
A
That
meant
that
each
of
our
organizations
had
to
develop
the
training
to
do
it
and
we
went
into
each
other's
organization
and
evaluated
each
other.
The
outcome
was
a
systems
evaluation
and
we
looked
at
the
kinds
of
things
that
we
were
doing
well
and
the
things
we
weren't
doing
well
that
we
needed
to
address
and
all
kinds
of
actions
came
out
of
it.
A
One
of
the
fascinating
things
is
that
we
have
achieved
the
goals
that
we
set
for
herself
to
a
level
that
we
never
expected
that
we
would
achieve,
and
that
was
excited,
but
the
other
thing
that
happened
was
the
many
and
expected
achievements
that
we
had
in.
So,
for
example,
one
of
the
things
that
parents
said
to
us
was
that
you
all
use
different
approaches.
You
do
different
things.
You
set
different
goals.
A
Can
you
talk
together
in
a
different
way,
so
we
came
together
and
developed
one
model
and
committed
to
using
that
one
model
to
address
that
one
issue.
Well,
what
began
to
happen
is
the
school
board
came
to
us
and
they
said
well.
What
are
you
doing
because
we're
seeing
fewer
suspensions
we're
seeing
more
kids
staying
in
school?
Can
you
train
us
to
do
what
you're
doing
and
we
did
school
resource
officers,
came
to
us
and
said
well
we're
seeing
a
big
difference
in
the
kids
in
our
school?
What
is
it
you're
doing
it?
A
Can
you
train
us-
and
we
did
even
recreation-
came
to
us
and
said
you
know
the
kids
are
doing
better
in
the
recreation
programs
in
camps.
Can
you
train
us
and
they
did,
and
together
we
have
a
common
table
where
we
get
together.
There's
about
30
organizations
a
week
that
need
to
go
this
forward.
That's
just
one
kind
of
example:
I
think
I
could
give
you
many
others.
You
can
tell
that
I'm
quite
passionate
about
the
results
of
this.
A
D
Thank
you
and
I
appreciate
that
insight
into
the
kind
of
the
collaboration
and
information
sharing
that's
going
on
at
the
organization
level.
I
mean
I.
Think
that's
that's
great
I
mean
that's
exactly
what
we
you
know
as
a
as
a
as
a
funder
ourselves
and
as
a
player
in
the
helping
people.
Business
I
mean
that's
exactly
the
kind
of
thing
that
we're
hopeful
for
working
with
the
way
and
the
other
service
partners
to
try
and
achieve
I
mean
I,
don't
think
any
one
of
us
has
the
right
answer
or
the
right
formula.
D
I
think
it's
probably
a
combination
of
all
of
those
things
and
it'll
evolve
over
time.
So
we
have
to
constantly
keep
our
organisations
open
to
looking
at
how
to
change
to
reflect
the
reality.
So
thank
you
very
much
other
questions
for
nope.
Okay,
all
right!
Thank
you
very
much.
The
next
speaker
is
David
hole.
Mr.
D
holes
project
coordinator,
knowledge
broker
at
Ottawa
neighbourhood
study
come
on
down
and
for
those
of
you
who
don't
know
the
Ottawa
neighborhood
studies,
a
wonderful
demo,
I'm
sure
they'll
pitch
it,
but
a
wonderful
demographic
tool,
kind
of
lays
out
who's
who,
in
Ottawa
and
where's
who
in
Ottawa
I,
know
some
of
my
council
colleagues
as
well
as
myself,
make
use
of
that
information
to
help
inform
our
communities
about
the
people
who
live
around
them.
So
mr.
hole
go
ahead.
Well,.
K
Thank
you
for
that.
Thanks
for
that
introduction,
it
seems
to
me
that,
with
that
introduction,
half
of
my
presentation
is
already
spoken
to,
so
they
should
go
really
fast.
Thanks
for
this
opportunity,
though,
the
other
neighborhood
study
actually
began
as
a
research
project
out
of
the
University
of
Ottawa
and
their
academics
were
really
interested
in
understanding
the
socio
and
economic
indicators
of
health
and
well-being
in
local
communities
in
the
city
of
Ottawa.
But
what
was
since
was
what
began
as
pure
research
has
since
morphed
into
something
very,
very
different.
K
So
over
the
space
of
the
last
six
or
seven
years,
the
University
of
Ottawa
has
forged
very
successful
partnerships
with
the
Champlain
Lynn,
with
Ottawa
Public
Health,
with
the
other
planning
departments
within
the
City
of
Ottawa,
the
community
health
and
resource
centres
and
United
Way
that
have
being
a
tremendous
supporter
and
as
been
our
primary
funder
for
the
last
three
years
and
the
change
the
morph.
If
you
like,
is
that
we
move
from
research
to
applied
research,
which
means
enough
about
numbers.
K
Let's
talk
about
what
the
numbers
mean
our
mission,
if
you
like
his
theme,
to
provide
relevant
and
useful
and
trustworthy
information
about
Ottawa
neighborhoods
that
are
going
to
support
place-based,
planning
and
service
delivery
and
advocacy
and
action,
and
to
provide
opportunities
for
dialogue
about
what
makes
neighborhoods
healthy
and
improve
the
well-being
of
people
living
in
those
neighborhoods
I'm
not
going
to
talk
anymore
about
the
study.
I
do
know
that
many
members
of
council
are
already
very
familiar
with
the
study.
K
People
in
your
yourselves
and
people
in
your
offices
regularly
consult
the
data
that
we've
collected
about
the
neighborhoods
within
your
various
wards.
Anyone
in
the
room
that
would
like
more
information,
I'd
refer
you
to
our
website,
which
is
neighbor
neighborhood
study.
Ca
I
was
introduced
as
a
knowledge
broker,
which
is
a
fascinating
little
title.
K
It
doesn't
appear
on
my
business
card
as
such,
but
I
broker
knowledge,
which
is
to
say
that,
if,
like
me
in
so
many
ways,
numbers
just
make
your
eyes
cross
and
data,
you
recognize
the
importance
for
supporting
evidence-based
decision,
but
data
really
doesn't
set
your
heart
racing.
My
job
is
to
make
sense
of
that
data.
For
you
to
put
it
in
context
that
can
help
you
make
evidence-based
decisions,
I'm
working
constantly
with
Business
Improvement
associations,
local
community
organizations
and
community
agencies
with
local
planning
processes
and
place-based
planning.
K
So
it
supports
that
trend
analysis.
We
also
provide
the
tools
for
communities
to
plan
meaningful
and
measurable
improvements
at
a
neighborhood
level.
The
other
thing
is
that
we
provide
a
common
language
of
geography.
We've
put
a
lot
of
energy
into
analyzing,
the
City
of
Ottawa
into
a
hundred
and
eight
different
neighborhoods,
increasingly
that
geography
has
been
adopted
within
City
of
Ottawa
departments
to
help
support
local
planning.
K
The
other
element
about
a
shared
measurement
system
and
the
role
of
backbone
organizations
is
that
increasingly,
the
Ottawa
neighborhood
study,
despite
our
own
scarce
resources,
has
become
a
backbone
organization
for
so
many
agencies
that
have
increased
demands
for
program
evaluation.
Not
surprisingly,
many
funders
are
interested
in
funding
services.
They
want
the
boots
on
the
ground,
they
want
clients
to
have
positive
results,
but
they
also
want
demonstrations
of
those
results,
and
so
often
evaluation
programs
are
not
part
of
the
funding
formula
that
agencies
receive
small
organizations,
sometimes
with
less
than
a
half
a
dozen
people.
K
Just
don't
have
the
capacity
to
do
meaningful
planning,
that's
evidence-based,
and
what
the
Ottawa
neighborhood
study
does
and
City
of
Ottawa
increasingly
through
its
open
data
strategy,
is
providing
data
that
can
be
readily
accessed
and
with
the
support
of
people
like
me,
and
others
within
the
ONS
team
can
find
ways
to
use
that
data
for
local
planning
and
to
to
populate
the
various
evaluation
reports
that
are
asked
from
multiple
funders,
so
that
backbone
organization
role
is,
is
just
really
really
important.
I
can't
emphasize
it
enough.
K
The
city
of
order
is
very
familiar
with
that
over
40
years
ago
now
you
chose
to
invest
in
in
local
coordination
organizations,
the
community
health
and
resource
centers.
No
dollar
was
better
spent
in
my
opinion,
but
those
local
hubs
for
planning
and
coordination
continue
to
to
stimulate
community
dialogue
and
and
local
community
development,
so
the
community
is
not
best
in
need.
My
time,
I
have
43
seconds
just
to
address
very
quickly.
Some
of
the
things
that
the
impact
items
that
ons
is
currently
working
on
within
the
City
of
Ottawa.
K
Our
data
and
our
time
has
been
supporting
the
work
that
you'll
be
hearing
later.
On
this
morning,
related
to
child
care
services
and
priority
setting
there
next
week
we'll
be
working
on
the
healthy
kids
challenge
and
the
development
of
proposals
within
the
Public
Health
Department
we've
been
very
happy
to
work
in
partnership
around
defining
access
to
healthy
foods
and
analyzing
food
deserts.
K
We're
working
to
identify,
affordable
housing
within
the
city
right
now
are
we're
working
very
closely
with
Kali
the
city
for
all
women
initiative
and
with
the
community
health
and
resource
centers
that
are
wanting
to
better
understand
how
to
improve
voter
participation
in
low-income
neighborhoods
and
what's
the
challenge
there,
don't
they
care?
Don't
they
understand?
What's
the
issue
such
that
well,
number
one
is,
in
fact,
is
there
in
fact
reduced
voter
participation
in
those
neighborhoods.
K
We
have
the
data
that
can
help
trigger
these
kinds
of
discussions,
but
also
what
are
the
factors
that
might
impede
someone
for?
There
was
even
motivated
interested
in
informed
as
a
potential
voter
from
actually
casting
their
vote.
What's
the
closest
bus
stop,
who
has
the
closest
polling
station,
is
childcare
available
at
the
of
the
polling
station?
Those
are
the
kinds
of
issues
that
we
will
gather
the
data
and
work
with
Cowie
to
further
analyze,
to
inform
that
particular
study,
which
hopefully,
will
also
inform
actions,
ottawa
process
and
those
kinds
of
procedures.
K
D
Would
ask
you
know
when
you
were
talking.
You
got
on
a
bit
of
a
riff
about
the
necessity
of
the
not
just
the
tracking
of
the
data,
but
also
that
shared
language,
and
that
shared
interpretation
of
you
know
what
what
results
is
that
that
we're
trying
to
measure
and
and
I
know
that
there
you
know
not
just
through
your
your
operation,
and
you
know
councillor
Terry's
push
to
get
more
open
data
from
our
and
out
there
as
quickly
as
possible,
but
there's
always
no
matter
how
fast
you
you
pump
out
the
data.
D
I
mean
it's
reflective
of
real
life
transitions,
so
sometimes
there's
a
lag
time
and
I'm
wondering
what
your
thoughts
are
on
that
I'll
give
you
an
example.
You
know
we
used
to
fund
and
we
continue
to
fund
homework
clubs
right
and
it
used
to
be
thought
that.
Well,
if
you,
if
you
funded
a
homework,
club
and
kids,
came
to
the
homework
club
that
that
that
obviously
means
success.
D
The
homework
club
is
needed
because
there's
kids
coming
to
it
and
it's
it's
full
and
a
fully
subscribed
homework
club
is
successful
and
oversubscribed
homework
club
could
even
be
more
successful.
It
could
be
demonstrative
of
more
need,
but
I
think
even
at
present.
We're
measuring
you
know
and
I
didn't
get
the
opportunity
to
use
this
example
of
mr.
Hanlon.
But
you
know
at
present
we're
measuring
the
kids
number
of
kids
in
the
club.
There's
got
to
be
a
point
at
which
we
say
yeah,
but
did
the
grades
improve
yeah
right?
D
Did
we
measure
that,
and
is
that
really
the
actual
measuring
stick
with
which
we
should
use?
Is
there
value
in
the
homework
club
or
is
the
homework
club
built
in
the
right
fashion?
Right
so
and
that's
just
one
isolated
example
there's
so
many
others
where
it's?
You
know
you
don't
measure
enrollment,
you
measures,
you
know
completion
that
kind
of
thing,
but
it
requires
the
you
know
the
child
to
go
through
or
club
and
be
graded
after
the
fact
and
those
are
longer
timelines.
D
So
I'm
wondering
you
know
what
your
interpretation
then
is
of
from
a
funding
perspective,
whether
it's
the
city
or
the
United
Way.
They
have
to
provide
you
you're,
urging
that
we
provide
funding
for
that
a
value
to
of
peace,
but
there's
obviously
longer
timelines
associated
with
that.
So
I'm
wondering
what
your
thoughts
are
on
that
well.
K
We've
got
a
few
thoughts
on
that.
Quite
frankly,
one
is
to
assemble
data
that
can
reliably
informed
a
trend.
Analysis
is
challenging
because
year-over-year,
sometimes
the
ways
in
which
that
data
is
collected
can
change
and
we've
seen
that
with
the
census
this
year,
and
especially
the
Canadian
household
survey,
it's
really
hard
to
to
match
up
the
2011
data
with
the
kind
of
data
that
was
reported
in
five
years
earlier.
So
that's
that's
the
first
thing
the
importance
of
maintaining
that
the
the
common
definition
for
any
given
indicator
over
time.
K
If
there
is
an
improvement
in
grades
to
what
extent
can
that
be
attributed
to
the
homework
club
participation
as
opposed
to
any
other
kind
of
activity
or
intervention
or
family
change
or
income
change
or
whatever
it
might
be
that
what
that
might
indeed
have
had
the
same
kind,
a
similar
kind
of
impact.
So
it's
it's
very
challenging
to
to
interpret
statistics.
K
We're
constantly
looking
for
new
sources
of
data
and,
quite
frankly,
education
is
one
area
where
I
think
Ottawa
neighborhood
study
is
fairly
weak
and
we'd
like
to
have
further
conversations
with
the
school
board's
about
a
data
sharing
agreement
with
them.
We
can
identify
what
kind
of
data
can
be
shared.
D
Okay,
thank
you
very
much
committee
colleagues.
Are
there
any
questions?
No!
Thank
you
very
much
for
all
that
our
last
registered
speaker
is
Kenan.
Weller
who's,
co-leader,
director
of
communications
for
live-work-play
and
Kenan.
Welcome
back
welcome
down.
You
have
five
minutes
from
when
you
begin
look
forward
to
hearing
from
you.
F
The
way
our
community
invested
in
helping
this
population
was
comprised
almost
exclusively
of
a
variety
of
systems,
oriented
and
sheltered
environments,
education,
recreation,
housing
and
daytime
activity
taking
place
in
venues
that
separated
the
distance
with
intellectual
disabilities
from
other
citizens
lever
play
was
formed
because
teachers,
parents,
family
members,
disability
advocates
had
a
vision
for
a
different
type
of
community,
one
that
believes
in
possibilities
not
limits.
They
believe
they
continue
to
believe
in
a
nevins,
evidence-based
approach
that
is
focused
on
the
assets
and
value
of
people
with
disabilities,
rather
than
needs
and
deficits.
F
They
believe
that
support
should
focus
on
removing,
rather
than
avoiding
barriers
of
difference
that
reduce
access
to
life
opportunities.
Almost
twenty
years
later,
many
things
have
changed,
but
some
remains
the
same
policy
statements
and
mission
statements
speak
of
belonging
and
inclusion,
but
in
practice
much
of
our
community
investment
remains
focused
on
infrastructures
and
systems
that
serve
mainly
to
keep
certain
people
with
disability
labels
separate
from
others,
rather
than
helping
them
belong
and
contribute
to
the
everyday
life
of
our
city.
The
dominant
housing
model
remains
that
of
congregated
residences.
F
Special
classrooms
and
special
schools
continue
to
separate
some
children
with
disabilities
from
other
children,
even
with
respect
to
sports
and
recreation.
We're
still
learning
to
play
together.
It's
with
these
realities
in
mind
that
I
am
an
enthusiastic
in
anyway
Ottawa
volunteer,
serving
as
a
focus
area
champion
for
belonging
to
community
for
the
past
two
years.
F
However,
in
making
this
important
transition
to
identifying
and
tackling
community
priorities
in
a
towei
Ottawa
correctly
identified,
employment
has
enormous
potential
for
impacting
not
only
the
rise
of
employed
individuals,
but
for
helping
change,
perceptions
and
realities
for
all
citizens
in
relation
to
ability,
poverty,
dependency,
respect
and
value.
You
can
see
the
results
are
on
the
in
anyway
Ottawa
website,
individuals
with
disabilities
once
told
early
in
life
they'd
never
work
proudly
celebrating
their
first
job
in
that
first
paycheck.
This
is
where
I
wish
to
make
the
important
connection
to
collective
impact,
as
introduced
by
previous
speakers.
F
It's
not
possible
for
a
social
service
agency
like
live-work-play
to
unilaterally
develop
employment
opportunities
or
create
the
conditions
for
employers
to
seek
out
and
recognize
the
business
case
for
hiring
people
with
disabilities.
We
require
unity
of
thought,
messaging
and
purposes
from
government
at
all
levels,
as
well
as
from
private
sector
partners
and
nonprofit
community
and
formal
and
informal
advocacy
networks.
You
must
take
special
care
not
to
work
at
cross-purposes.
I
appreciate
the
City
of
Ottawa
is
a
member
of
the
employment
accessibility
resource
network
and
a
supporter
and
contributor
to
the
earn
annual
conference.
I.
F
We
could
do
to
ensure
consistent
messaging
about
the
value
of
citizens
with
disabilities,
also
to
evolve
practices
with
respect
to
housing,
recreation,
transportation
and
other
city
services
in
ways
that
will
promote
inclusion
and
align
with
the
progressive
efforts
underway
with
respect
to
employment
and
ultimately
lead
to
reduction
and
elimination
of
the
many
barriers
that
currently
stigmatize
and
marginalize
citizens
with
disabilities
in
closing
I
want
to
emphasize
these
changes
benefit
all
citizens.
Our
community
will
experience
improved
physical,
mental
health,
we'll
have
more
productive
workplaces
and
our
neighbourhoods
will
be
safer,
stronger
and
more
accessible
for
all.
D
Thank
you
very
much.
Keenan.
Are
there
members
of
the
committee
of
questions
for
mr.
Weller?
No.
Thank
you
very
much
for
coming
down.
That
concludes
the
delegations
on
the
united
way's
presentation
and
I
have
some
thoughts
to
offer,
but
I
think
counselor
Florida
beat
me
to
it.
He
has
some
some
thoughts.
You'd
like
to
share
I.
E
Felt
like
I
could
have
asked
questions
to
all
the
members
and
I.
Don't
want
you
to
individually
feel
like
we're
uninterested,
actually
quite
listening,
and
an
intrigued
by
is
some
of
the
discussion,
as
you
know,
I'm
in
the
bubble
of
United,
Way,
so
I
kind
of
know,
a
lot
of
the
discussion
and
the
progress
and
the
shift
and
I
mean
for
my
colleagues
and
maybe
for
people
that
aren't
as
as
informed
or
as
engaged
in
in
a
in
United
Way
I.
E
Think
by
the
discussion
is
now
you've
seen
some
some
of
the
information
related
to
data
data
capturing.
What's
the
situation
giving
us
that
vision,
then
there's
you
know
there
are
obviously
the
three
pillars
that
that
allow
us
to
to
in
action
and
work
with
with
the
organization.
But
in
summary
with
in
my
mind,
with
that
does
is
really
it
highlights
kind
of
core
issues
and
then
enables
us
to
respond.
E
It
responded
to
is
respond
to
people
that
are
in
need
and
vulnerable
and
then
able
to
create
kind
of
a
filter
to
capture
the
vulnerability
before
it
becomes
a
bigger
problem.
So
you
know
we
have
to.
We
have
to.
We
have
to
recognize
the
progress
and
we
have
to
also
recognize
some
of
our
challenges
and
I.
Think
United
Way
is
working
on
both
fronts
in
trying
to
to
really
to
really
make
Ottawa
a
friendly
place
for
all
and
I
think.
E
Sometimes
sometimes
we
as
a
city
we
individually,
would
like
to
do
more
and
and
support
the
organizations
as
much
responsible,
I
think.
The
key
word
here
is
making
sure
we
don't
duplicate
and
I.
We
support
each
other
in
key
initiatives
that
need
that
meet
the
common
vision,
so
I
really
I
really
feel
that
the
conversation
is
happening
and
that
we're
heading
in
that
direction.
I
really
want
to
applaud
the
volunteer
time
from
the
members
of
the
group
that
presented
today
and
obviously
from
the
overall
community
of
United.
D
Thank
you
very
much
to
the
United
Way
for
coming
out
today
and
offering
us
this
presentation.
I.
Think
you
know
especially
to
the
members
of
the
media
who
were
here
today.
You
know
this
is
the
mechanics.
The
behind-the-scenes
part,
if
you
look
at
community
service
in
the
city
of
Ottawa,
is
a
giant
machine
and
on
the
one
end
you
have
popping
out
successes
where
we're
helping
folks
who
are
facing
some
pretty
significant
challenges
in
life.
The
inside
of
the
box
is
how
well
the
cogs
mesh
together
and
each
one
of
those
cogs
represents.
D
You
know
a
service
organization,
the
city,
a
funder.
Perhaps
you
know
the
United
Way,
maybe
it's
the
Community
Foundation
of
Ottawa
and
I.
Think
our
our
goal
in
the
years
to
come
has
to
be
to
better
share
information,
expand
and
actively
look
for
every
opportunity
to
share
information
and
partner,
even
closer
together,
as
well
as
define
the
responsibilities
among
ourselves.
D
Have
those
frank
conversations
among
the
funders
and
the
partners-
and
I
think
you
heard
a
lot
of
that
today
from
the
presentation
there's
broad
desire
among
those
out
there
doing
the
good
work
of
helping
those
who
are
in
our
community
who
were
in
very
vulnerable
states,
there's
a
broad
desire
among
men
to
work
collaboratively
together.
So
it's
not
a
an
issue
of
territory
protection.
D
Perhaps
it
was
at
one
point
in
the
past,
but
I
think
we've
moved
well
beyond
that
now
and
we're
into
the
area
of
we're
looking
for
collaborative
solutions,
so
whoever's
got
the
appropriate
tools
to
help
a
person
in
need.
That's
who
we
need
to
bring
to
the
table,
and
so
I
want
to
thank
the
United
Way
for
for
its
efforts
in
doing
that.
I
know
that
quite
often
we
look
at
the
United
Way
as
a
funder
and
and
I
think
mr.
D
So
thank
you
to
the
United
Way
members
who
have
come
today
to
and
the
service
organizations
who
come
to
speak
to
us,
I'm
going
to
be
seeking
to
come
and
speak
to
their
board,
to
provide
kind
of
a
city
view
for
the
members
of
the
board
of
the
United
Way
to
try
and
highlight
you
know
for
both
organizations
the
importance
of
that
sharing
of
information.
The
members
of
the
committee.
This
was
a
presentation
on
our
agenda.
So
may
we
have
a
vote
to
receive
this
item
received.
D
Thank
you
very
much
and
thank
you
again
to
the
members
of
the
United
Way
who
came
out.
That
leaves
us
with
one
item
on
our
agenda
today.
It
is
the
childcare
service
plan
brought
forward
by
the
community
social
services
department.
Dr.
brewer
is
here
to
provide
us
with
a
presentation
on
that
and
as
we
prepare
for
that,
we
do
have
some
speakers.
We've
added
a
few
more
I
think
we
have
three
speakers
now
on
that.
The
committee
has
some
communication
by
email
as
well,
which
has
been
circulated
to
committee
members.
D
D
But
regardless,
thank
you
very
much
for
coming
out
and
this
this
service
plan
will
move
us
I
think
it
takes
some
significant
steps
to
move
us
in
a
very
constructive
direction,
towards
changing
the
nature
of
how
a
child
service
provision
happens
in
our
city,
but
in
a
good
way
and
I
want
to
thank
I'm
going
to
thank
dr.
burry
and
his
team
for
having
a
very,
very
wide
consultation
with
members
of
the
childcare
services.
D
One
of
the
things
I've
been
very
keen
on
is
the
putting
the
focus
of
childcare
on
children
because
I
believe
that's
where
it
should
land,
and
so
we're
gonna
hear
a
little
bit
about
that
today,
as
well
as
helping
to
comb
through
some
of
the
the
challenges
in
the
system,
with
the
creation
of
a
comprehensive
wait
list
in
one
location.
So
with
that,
dr.
Brielle
turn
it
over
to
you
for
your
presentation.
Thanks.
L
Very
much
chair,
as
you
know,
approximately
a
year
ago,
we
put
in
front
of
you
the
first
framework
that
would
look
at
modernizing
Ottawa's
system
and
the
report
that
you're
seeing
is
in
response
to
the
work
we've
done
this
year.
The
province
will
essentially
complete
the
transition
to
full
day
Early
Learning
between
2014
and
with
it
being
complete
by
September
of
2015,
and
that
has
some
significant
impacts
as
we
move
through
and
that's
what
this
entire
plan
is
designed
to
do
is
just
help
us
navigate
through
that.
L
As
a
city
I
think
it's
chair,
trailer
indicated
we
did
hold
for
comprehensive
consultations
as
well
as
we
received
over
450
submissions
and
comments
related
to
it.
So
that's
the
basis
of
the
work
in
terms
of
what
we're
going
forward
as
part
of
that
work,
we
established
an
expert
panel
and
that
expert
panels
to
provide
specific
advice
on
on
with
respect
to
looking
at
children
and
priorities,
etc,
and
I
want
to
acknowledge
the
members
of
that
a
particular
group
this
morning.
L
I
want
to
particularly
thank
Colleen
Hendrick,
who
has
stepped
up
in
our
department,
as
did
many
other
members
to
help
with
this.
This
is
a
very
large
amount
of
work
to
be
done
very
significant
and
not
possible
just
for
the
children's
services
branch
to
support
it.
So
Colleen
chaired
the
group.
We
have
Stephanie
ammaji
who's,
an
associate
professor
at
Carleton
University
Elizabeth
Christensen,
who
is
also
an
associate
professor
at
the
University
of
Ottawa,
dr.
Cohen,
who
is
chief
and
research
analyst
at
Health.
L
Canada
also
has
an
appointment
at
the
University
of
Ottawa
since
yeah
Corrigan
who's
here
today,
she's
a
postdoc
fellow
at
geo
she's
actually
going
to
do
part
of
the
presentation.
If
you
get
Tessier
from
Ottawa
Public,
Health,
Marilyn
who's,
our
manager
at
Leonor,
Evans
and
again,
we
have
a
new
member
Kelly
Pelosi
from
the
Parent
Resource
Centre.
So
you
can
see
we
have
a
group
of
individuals
who
provide
us
very
strategic
advice.
L
In
addition,
we
have
also
set
up
a
stakeholder
reference
group
which
is
made
up
with
a
wide
variety
of
stakeholders
from
the
city
who
represent
various
networks
and
so
on
and
more
a
dao
is
going
to
present
a
part
of
a
stakeholders.
Reference
group.
All
of
this
work
is
what
you
see
before
you
in
terms
of
the
2014
plan,
which
I
want
some
of
our
objectives
between
now
2014
and
2017.
L
What
I
do
want
to
emphasize
is
that,
in
addition
to
the
2014
plan
each
year
we
will
bring
back
a
revised
plan,
so
next
year
in
25
we
will
2015.
We
will
be
again
presenting
to
committee
a
plan
which
then
is
submitted
on
to
the
province
for
approval.
So,
as
we
move
through
this
process,
we
will
be
bringing
back
updated
plans.
L
The
last
thing
I
just
wanted
to
mention
is
that
the
province
of
Ontario
has
a
recently
tabled
legislation
and
will
be
examining
that
legislation
holding
public
consultations
with
respect
to
that,
and
this
legislation
is
largely
intended
to
entrench
the
provincial
direction
related
to
childcare
and
does
have
some
implications
for
the
city
and
how
we
operate.
The
province
is
becoming
more
prescriptive
in
terms
of
what
it
wants
to
see
as
outcomes
and
those
particular
elements
are
included
in
that
legislation
and,
as
I
mentioned,
there
will
be
further
consultation
conducted
by
the
province
with
respect
to
it.
L
M
Thank
You,
Aaron
and
good
morning
to
the
city
councillors
in
the
census
of
2011.
There
were
a
hundred
and
seven
thousand
five
hundred
and
seventy
five
children
in
Ottawa
ages,
0
to
10.
Currently
there
are
more
than
27,000
licensed
childcare
spaces
which
serves
25%
of
all
of
Ottawa's
children
in
the
same
age
range
from
0
to
10.
Licensed
childcare
is
offered
in
Ottawa
in
333,
childcare,
centers
and
by
17
home
childcare
agencies.
M
M
5112
have
requested
a
fee
subsidy,
so
we
definitely
have
a
capacity
issue
in
the
City
of
Ottawa
for
licensed
childcare.
Looking
forward
to
the
demand
for
growth
for
subsidized
spaces
from
2010
to
2013,
the
number
of
licensed
spaces
in
our
community
has
shown
marginal
growth
from
approximately
20
1,500
to
27,000.
M
During
the
same
period,
the
number
of
subsidized
spaces
have
actually
marginally
decreased
from
six
thousand
six
hundred
to
six
thousand
and
five
hundred.
The
demand
for
subsidy,
however,
has
grown
150
percent
since
2010
as
a
percentage,
the
proportion
of
subsidized
spaces
has
been
decreasing.
This
is
in
part
due
to
the
higher
costs
of
childcare,
which
includes
salaries,
foods,
hydro
and
rent
costs.
There
may
be
more
funds
in
our
system,
but
over
time
the
city's
buying
power
has
and
will
continue
to
decrease
as
child
care
providers.
M
This
pie
chart
depicts
the
city's
childcare
budget
for
2013.
The
total
childcare
budget
is
almost
ninety
five
million
dollars,
and
what's
important
here,
is
that
seventy
seven
million
dollars
of
that
provincial
funding
is
for
core
services.
That
means
that
the
city
has
100%
flexibility
within
that
core
service
delivery
area,
and
that's
the
part
of
the
funding
that
we're
going
to
work
with
child
providers
to
define
a
new
local,
equitable
payment
for
childcare
services.
M
Throughout
the
course
of
the
consultations,
parents
and
providers
asked
us
to
be
clear
about
the
guiding
principles
for
the
childcare
modernization
framework.
We've
done
so,
and
we've
clarified
and
and
noted
our
alignment
with
the
provincial
early
years
policy
statement.
The
city's
goal
is
to
balance
parent
accessibility
and
affordability
with
system
service
service
system,
stability.
M
We
have
four
key
activities
in
front
of
us
for
the
2014-2015
year:
the
launch
of
the
new
waitlist
management
technology,
which
will
be
complete
by
September
of
2014.
The
development
of
new
purchase
of
service
contracts
with
our
providers
and
those
will
be
complete
by
December
of
2015,
a
review
of
our
municipal
childcare
program,
and
that
includes
municipal
home
childcare,
which
will
be
complete
by
the
end
of
2014
and
then
ongoing
consultation
with
our
community
stakeholder
reference
group.
Regarding
our
new
funding
formula
for
the
municipality,
the.
M
New
rate
list,
as
I
mentioned,
will
be
launched
by
September
of
2014
and
staff
will
be
contacting
parents
who
are
currently
on
the
wait
wait
registry
in
order
to
update
their
information.
If
parents
qualify
for
subsidy,
they
will
then
be
prioritized
based
upon
when
they
first
registered
for
childcare
and
that's
a
really
important
element
to
parents
in
terms
of
their
date
of
of
registry.
The
expert
panel
is
arunoda.
It
worked
with
us
to
develop
criteria
for
fee
subsidy
eligibility,
and
these
are
described
in
detail
in
the
service
plan.
Dr.
C
You
Marlon,
there
are
two
sets
of
criteria
for
fee
subsidy
eligibility.
The
first
set
is
related
to
system
planning
priorities
and
they
will
assist
the
city
in
completing
its
mandate
for
system
planning
for
children
aged
0
to
12.
The
second
set
of
criteria
relates
to
families
individual
priority
criteria,
most
of
which
are
legislated
by
the
province
of
Ontario.
C
If
we
look
at
system
planning
priorities,
the
first
criteria
concerns
the
geographic
distribution
of
subsidies
over
the
next
five
years.
The
city
will
strive
to
achieve
a
distribution
of
fee
subsidies
based
on
why
core,
as
identified
by
census
data
in
addition
to
this
information,
will
be
overlaid
from
the
Ottawa
neighborhood
study.
Identifying
children
who
scores
vulnerable
on
multiple
indicators.
C
Concerning
age
distribution,
also,
over
the
next
five
years,
the
city
will
strive
to
achieve
ongoing
age
proportion
of
distribution
of
fee
subsidies
within
each
neighbourhood
among
groups
of
infants,
toddlers
preschool
and
school
age
children.
This
means
that
both
the
city
and
existing
childcare
service
providers
will
be
better
equipped
to
plan
for
future
childcare
needs,
while
ensuring
that
existing
childcare
spaces
are
actually
maximized.
C
C
Now
looking
at
priority
criteria
for
subsidy.
First
of
all,
city
staff
will
be
contacting
parents
who
are
currently
on
the
centralized
registry
and
who
self-identified
as
potentially
eligible
for
subsidy,
to
update
their
information
and
determine
whether
they
are
in
fact
eligible
for
fee
subsidy
because
of
limited
provincial
funding
to
support
fee
subsidies.
The
city
has
to
prioritize
has
to
use
a
priority
criteria
to
establish
eligibility
and
priority
for
access
to
fees.
Subsidies.
It's
important
to
note
that
the
first
four
priorities
are
provincially
legislated.
C
So
immediate
placement
is
for
children
who
have
been
referred
through
the
Children's
Aid
Society
families,
fleeing
abuse
and
families
residing
in
or
exiting
family
shelters.
The
province
legislates
that
financial
eligibility
must
be
met,
so
priority
will
be
given
to
social
assistance,
recipients,
families
living
below
like
Oh
and
families
earning
between
twenty
and
forty
thousand
dollars.
M
A
departmental
taskforce
has
been
established
to
review
all
existing
purchase
of
service
agreements
within
the
department,
including
childcare,
as
I
mentioned
earlier.
New
agreements
will
be
complete
by
the
end
of
December
of
2015,
and
the
contracts
will
formalize
the
requirements
for
operational
fee
subsidy
funding
and
capital
contributions
to
child
care
providers.
Any
new
provincial
revenue
will
be
assigned
in
accordance
with
any
criteria
for
prioritization
of
eligible
proposals
under
the
approved
council
program.
M
The
city
will
be
conducting
a
review
of
the
municipal
childcare
program
and
in
early
2014,
the
request
for
proposals
was
awarded
and
we
expect
this
review
to
be
complete
by
the
end
of
December.
As
mentioned
previously.
The
goal
of
this
review
is
to
ensure
that
city
delivered
programs
and
services
are
efficient
and
effective
and
similar
to
the
community-based
childcare
programs.
Municipal
operated
programs
will
need
to
work
within
the
new
municipal
funding
formula
once
it
is
developed
and
approved.
M
Throughout
2014
staff
will
be
developing
a
new
municipal
funding
formula
in
consultation
with
the
childcare
stakeholders
and
providers
and
staff
will
review
allowable
expenses,
such
as
staff,
wages
benefits,
occupancy
costs
and
other
program
related
costs
with
the
intention
of
stabilizing
childcare
services
in
our
city.
As
part
of
the
initiative
to
develop
a
municipal
funding
formula,
a
new
and
transparent
reinvestment
process
was
introduced
in
consultation
with
the
stakeholders
reference
group
early
in
2014.
M
Overall,
all
of
these
changes
are
significant
for
the
childcare
sector.
In
Ottawa.
We
recognize
how
complex
childcare
is
as
a
service
provider,
but
local
childcare
providers
are
committed
to
working
in
partnership
with
the
city
to
move
forward
on
the
childcare
modern
in
project
through
ongoing
communication.
M
D
Thank
you
very
much
for
your
presentation
and
thank
you
for
all
of
the
work.
That's
gone
into
crafting
this
I
know.
Whenever
we
do
anything
that
obviously
impacts
our
childcare
system,
there's
going
to
be
a
lot
of
thought
put
into
it
and
a
lot
of
energy
put
into
you
know:
managing
the
different
requirements
and
desires,
not
just
provincial,
but
parents
as
well
I,
don't
have
any
questions
on
this
particular
file,
although
I've
had
the
benefit
in
the
opportunity
of
kind
of
being
involved
in
it.
D
F
You
very
much
mr.
chair
and
thank
you
very
much
for
the
presentation
and
for
all
of
your
work
on
this
item
and
I
think
reading
the
report.
Obviously,
you
covered
almost
all
of
the
issues
that
you
needed
to
look
at
both
from
a
funding
perspective,
as
well
as
looking
after
the
children,
which
is
the
most
important
piece
in
all
of
this.
Having
said
that,
just
one
question,
dr.
F
L
That's
correct,
there's
many
things,
I
think
particularly
related,
and
they
were
talking
in
the
funding
formula
areas
with
respect
to
the
funding.
The
notion
that's
been
introduced
relatively
recently
by
the
province
of
Ontario,
is
no
longer
to
sort
of
fund
separate
envelopes
of
things,
but
to
combine
it
all
and
to
give
it
to
us
and
now
say,
go
back
and
look
at
this
and
I
think.
L
D
You
anybody
else,
so
our
first
speaker
on
the
item
then
is
Christine.
Bard
Ella
I
may
have
mispronounced
that
I'm
sorry
from
the
Ottawa
Child
Care
Association
Christine.
If
you
want
to
make
your
way
down
over
here
to
the
public
delegations
seat
and
when
you're
ready
to
speak
just
to
hit
the
button
on
the
microphone
in
front
of
you
in
that
way,
the
folks
out
in
internet
land
can
hear
you
as
well,
and
you
have
five
minutes
from
when
you
begin,
and
it
will
signal
you
when
you're
getting
close
to
the
end.
N
Occa
recognizes
the
childcare
service
brand
is
a
consolidated
work
of
objectives
and
focuses,
and
we
expect
that
the
city
will
continue
to
consult
with
the
childcare
community
through
this
stakeholders.
Reference
group
and
ensure
that
the
ideas
and
opinions
presented
by
this
group
are
taken
into
account
when
continuing
to
develop
the
plan.
We
applaud
the
city's
direction,
ensuring
that
it
will
give
priority
access
to
childcare,
fee
subsidies,
to
families
most
in
need,
and
we
endorse
the
city's
recommendation
that
subsidies
follow
the
child.
N
Although
the
province
is
the
primary
funder
or
funder
of
subsidized
childcare
services
in
Ontario,
the
City
of
Ottawa
also
plays
an
important
role
by
contributing
funding
and
and
identifying
how
that
funding
is
allocated.
We
applaud
the
city
for
identifying
they
are
committed
to
supporting
not-for-profit
childcare.
As
stated
within
this
report,
we
fully
expect
that
the
city
will
continue
to
ensure
that
public
dollars
are
not
flowed
to
for-profit
operators.
Public
funding
must
only
be
allocated
to
nonprofit
agencies
that
are
accountable
to
the
city
and
their
community.
N
We
want
to
make
it
very
clear
that
if
the
city
moves
to
a
standardized
funding
formula
that
reduces
our
current
operating
budgets,
there
may
be
unintended
consequences.
As
you
know,
there
continues
to
be
a
high
demand
for
childcare
spaces
if
the
daily
per
diem
rate
for
subsidized
spaces
does
not
meet
the
operating
expenses
that
may
leave
our
most
vulnerable
children
at
risk
of
very
little
or
no
care
being
available
to
them.
N
We
encourage
the
city
to
investigate,
as
part
of
their
process,
of
determining
a
standard
funding
formula
the
feasibility
of
establishing
a
citywide
salary
scale
for
our
CES
in
Ottawa,
given
that,
on
average
salaries
account
for
77
to
84
percent
of
each
agency's
operating
budget
and
the
increased
recruitment
and
retention
challenges
for
qualified
staff
with
competition
from
the
school
board.
A
citywide
salary
scale
will
increase
stability
and
predictability
of
costs.
N
Any
decrease
to
salary
or
benefits
is
against
the
premise
if
inequity
and
might
may
violate
the
pay
equity
legislation
in
building
a
sustainable
future
for
all
children
and
families.
We
would
like
to
see
the
city
take
more
of
a
leadership
role
in
system
planning
on
page
7.
The
report
states
that
in
geographic
areas
where
there
is
no
eggs,
no
existing
not-for-profit
operators
and
not-for-profit
areas
providers
are
not
willing
to
shift
their
services,
offering
the
civil
review
potential
for
a
purchase
of
service
agreement
with
a
private
operator.
N
Nonprofit
operators
are
more
than
willing
to
shift
their
services
to
where
there
is
need.
However,
to
be
able
to
do
this,
there
must
be
system-wide
planning
and
funding
for
the
expansion
of
nonprofit
childcare
services
with
the
planning
and
development
of
future
communities.
We
would
suggest
that
childcare
be
part
of
the
initial
planning
process.
The
same
as
schools
and
Parks
is
designated
from
the
onset.
The
city
was
minimal,
available
funding
for
capacity
expansion
to
meet
the
existing,
let
alone
the
future
demands
of
childcare,
thus
is.
N
Thus
it
is
imperative
that
the
city
have
began
having
system-wide
planning
discussions
in
conjunction
with
the
stakeholder
reference
group,
the
City
Planning
Department
and
developers
to
ensure
that
we
are
building
a
city
that
meets
the
childcare
needs
of
all
children
and
families
with
a
nonprofit
sector.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
This
morning,.
D
Thank
you
very
much
for
thank
you
very
much
for
your
input
and
I
would
like
to
to
just
ask
dr.
burr
to
comment.
You
know
you
spoke
a
couple
of
times
about
system-wide
planning
and
I'd
like
to
we've,
had
internal
conversations
about
that
quite
a
lot,
and
it
was
a
topic
we
talked
about
at
some
of
the
roundtables
with
parents
as
well
so
I'd
like
dr.
burr,
to
kind
of
comment
on
on
our
kind
of
position
in
the
childcare
market.
Now
with
the
city
versus
you
know
what
it
may
have
been.
L
There
has
been
a
significant
shift
in
terms
of
where
the
province
of
Ontario
particularly
has
gone
with
respect
to
childcare,
which
is
impacted
us
and
primarily,
is
the
introduction
in
2007
at
income
testing.
So
the
majority
of
the
resources
and
the
emphasis
of
the
province
of
Ontario
is
very
much
on
the
low-income
community,
and
it
is
not
at
this
particular
point
in
time
trying
to
build
an
entire
childcare
system
across
the
whole
spectrum.
Having
said
that,
we
are
very
much
focused,
and
that's
where
our.
L
When
our
presentation,
we
talked
about
very
much
looking
at
what
is
the
distribution
in
the
planning
for
the
system
across
low-income
neighborhoods
across
all
neighborhoods,
much
of
our
system
currently
is
historically
based,
and
we
need
to
be
re-examined
that
in
developing
a
system,
that's
more
flexible
that
allows
the
services
to
go
where
the
children
actually
are.
It's
going
to
take
time
to
do
that
and
we're
going
to
systematically
go
at
this.
L
The
first
piece
which
we
spoke
about
earlier
is
the
key
step,
and
that
is,
we
have
to
get
the
right
wait
list
information
of
who's
waiting
for
what
kind
of
services
and
where
they're,
actually
all
right.
Now
we
don't
have
that
full
detail
and
we'll
have
that
over
time
and
then
begin
to
migrate.
The
services,
the
other
piece
of
this
and
we're
very
hopeful
at
this
point
is
the
province
has
announced
some
new
funding
for
us.
We
have
not
seen
the
details
around
this.
L
So
the
remember
points
in
the
presentation.
The
first
thing
is
a
stakeholders.
Reference
group
is
going
to
be
seized
with
dealing
with
all
of
those
issues.
Over
the
next
year
we
haven't
finished
those
conversations
and
we
anticipate
that
the
stakeholders
reference
group,
as
the
expert
panel,
will
continue
to
be
an
ongoing
part
of
how
we're
going
to
do
business
going
forward.
We
want
this
to
be
an
extremely
transparent
process.
We
are
releasing
all
the
information,
all
the
notes
it
could
serve
to
anyone
who
requests
it.
L
We
want
people
to
understand,
what's
actually
happening
and
I
think
more
injured,
indicated
earlier,
very
clearly,
it's
a
very
complex
business
and
there's
a
lot
of
things
happening
out
there
in
the
sector
so
going
forward.
We
have
very
much
you're
going
to
have
to
focus
on
what
those
provincial
priorities
are
which
bar
on
low
income
subsidy,
and
that
represents
about
25
percent
of
the
the
tolls
share
right
now
in
the
city,
the
other
75
percent.
We
don't
have
a
lot
of
controller
input
as
to
where
their
child
Care's
are
established
or
how
they're
established.
D
Okay,
thank
you
very
much.
Dr.
burry.
Are
there
questions
from
other
members
of
the
committee?
Thank
you
very
much
for
your
presentation.
The
next
is
Miss
Joanne
Hightower
from
the
Ottawa
Federation
of
parent
daycare,
hi
Tara.
If
you
want
to
come
on
down
and
again,
you
have
five
minutes,
so
please
activate
the
mic
in
front
of
you
or
when
you
begin
to
speak.
Thank
you.
O
Good
morning,
I
am
Joanne,
Hightower
and
I
just
wanted
to
follow
up
on
the
comments
by
my
colleague,
Christine's
badula,
the
ofp
DC,
or
the
Ottawa
Federation
of
parents
day
care
is
a
group
of
nine
not-for-profit
cooperative
childcare.
Centers
who've
been
providing
the
long
term
quality
service
to
families
in
the
City
of
Ottawa.
The
fpdc
supports
the
prioritize
waitlist,
but
do
we
feel
that
the
choice
for
parents
must
be
held
within
the
not-for-profit
sector?
O
Otherwise
we
too
feel
that
part
of
the
dollars
will
flow
to
the,
not
the
for-profit
sector
and
there
will
be
a
loss
of
accountability
for
public
tax
dollars.
Historically,
the
City
Council
has
always
supported
the
not-for-profit
sector
and
funding
going
to
that
sector
and
has
indeed
mandated
said
in
previous
councils.
O
There's
been
a
lot
of
discuss
today
with
regards
to
system
planning
and
quality
measurements.
We
know
that
research
studies
such
as
the
early
years
study
by
dr.
Fraser,
mustard
and
Margaret
McCain
that
there
are
high
indicators
or
higher
indicators
of
quality
within
the
not-for-profit
sector.
At
present,
there
are
no
quality
indicator
tools
attached
to
any
public
funding
within
the
childcare
sector,
and
we
highly
recommend
that
within
system
planning,
the
city
ensure
that
a
quality
insurance
tool
is
implemented.
Thank
you.
D
Thank
you
very
much
appreciate
your
your
insight
and
your
input
and
I
know
that
at
least
I
suspect,
you're
feeding
into
that
process
and
the
tables
as
well.
So
thank
you
for
sharing
that,
not
just
on
your
behalf
but
on
behalf
of
the
non
for
profit,
not
for
profit
sector,
nonprofit
sector.
Other
members
of
the
committee
with
questions
for
this
delegation.
Thank
you
very
much
and
the
last
delegation
we
have
registered
is
Tamara
Brown
from
brown
bear
daycare,
Miss
Brown
you
want
to
if
you're
here.
D
O
Morning,
I'd
like
to
thank
you
for
this
opportunity
to
speak
to
the
committee
today.
I
am
the
executive
director
of
brown
bear
daycare
who
we
are
a
private
Center.
We
operate
three
private
centers
in
Statesville
I'm,
also
a
member
of
the
stakeholders,
reference
group
I
understand
through
our
stakeholders.
O
Reference
group
meetings
that,
although,
although
there
are
many
budgetary
considerations
inherent
in
moving
toward
a
floating
fee
subsidy
system
within
Ottawa,
we
all
feel,
as
indicated
by
miss
Videla
with
the
Ottawa
Child
Care
Association,
that
this
floating
system
supporting
parental
choice
is
a
positive
leap
in
childcare
modernization.
The
report
being
considered
today
specifically
states
that
when
the
waitlist
is
fully
implemented,
all
childcare
agencies
will
be
able
to
offer
subsidized
spaces
with
a
signed
agreement
with
the
city.
I
want
to
ensure
that
the
priority
of
parental
choice
remains
intact.
O
So
if
they
do
want
a
space
at
my
child
care
center
because
of
the
reputation
I
have
within
the
community
because
of
referrals
they
receive
from
their
family
members
and
their
friends,
I,
don't
think
that
it
is
appropriate
for
them
to
be
told
they
don't
have
that
choice,
because
the
city
controls
the
purse
strings.
Thank
you.
D
Alright,
thank
you
very
much.
Miss
Brown.
Are
there
questions
Brown?
No!
Thank
you
very
much
so
with
that.
That
brings
that's
the
last
presenter
we
have
on
this
item.
So
I'll
turn
it
back
to
committee
and
if
there
are
no
questions
for
staff,
then
on
this
may
we
approve
this
and
carry
forward
to
Council
carried
carried.
Thank
you
very
much
appreciate
dr.
berry
and
his
staff
coming
out
and
taking
the
time
and
the
delegations
for
coming
out
as
well
moving
forward.
