The Government of Canada is engaging Canadians on how to improve the lives of Canadians with disabilities. Your feedback will support the development of the Disability Inclusion Action Plan, which will focus on:

• reducing poverty among persons with disabilities in Canada;

• getting more persons with disabilities into good quality jobs;

• helping meet the Accessible Canada Act goal of a barrier-free Canada by 2040;

• making it easier for persons with disabilities to access federal programs and services; and

PACE, in partnership with Ontario Health and the property management teams at several of our supportive housing locations – Bathurst Prince Charles, Bello Horizonte, Henry Lane, Edwards Manor and the Joanne Wilson program – worked together to bring mobile vaccination teams to each location to provide vaccines to our clients, and in some cases, other residents in the buildings. Sue and Eva, PACE’s Client Resource Facilitators were on hand to provide support, and take some wonderful photos.

PACE is pleased to announce that we have hired our very first Director, People and Culture .  Charlene Lunney comes to PACE with a background in both public, not for profit and private sector experience.

PACE, in partnership with the National Council of Jewish Women and the property management team at our Bathurst Prince Charles supportive housing program, worked with Ontario Health to bring a mobile vaccination team to provide vaccines to our clients, and other residents living in the building. In total, 77 vaccines were administered.
