The purpose of the event was to create awareness among the Constituency organizers, community organizations, and families.
“We have one hundred and twenty different organizations from community to not - for- profits, to some that are government funded to actually ministries that are here advertising their services and just bringing them closer to what’s available,” said Adam Feldman, Constituency Assistant.
“In the riding of Etobicoke Lakeshore, and all the services that the local MP Peter Milczyn would have a great interest in. His office here with the office of Etobicoke Centre has put together this event that’s helpful for the community,” Feldman said.
MPP Peter Milczyn said, “We are very lucky in Etobicoke, there are a lot of community services, there are a lot of different supports for seniors, people with children with disabilities, there are a lot of investments in new programs that the government is implementing.”
“It’s all about getting the information out making people aware and being accessible and being able to make the link,” said Milczyn.
Milczyn states he is prepared to answer questions or listen to any comments from anyone who wants to talk.
Some of the community service providers that were on hand were pleased with the day’s event and to share valid information.
Administrative Assistant Susan Junco of Travel Industry Council of Ontario (TICO) said. “A lot of people think we are a travel agency but when we tell them about it they go oh good to know.”
“We explain TICO it’s a regulated, that there is specific legislation on how travel services are sold here in Ontario, they didn’t even know there are certain protection laws”.
Social Service Worker Valarie Heath said, “Today was very insightful and informative, I hope to volunteer with the Community Social Service program.”
