Given the changes and opportunities in Community Living and the
current financial climate, it is important that the needs and challenges
facing those who have a family member transitioning from high school to adult
life (specifically those who are transitioning from Children’s Community
Living Services to Adult Community Living Services) be made a priority. A
first meeting has been called for:
Saturday, May 31 from
10:00 AM to 2:00 PM at the Burnaby Association for Community Inclusion
2702 Norland Avenue, Burnaby
Lunch will be provided
The purpose of the meeting is to:
1. Get a good understanding of all the needs and challenges
facing families planning for the transition from high school.
2. Come up with specific solutions and recommendations for
actions.
3. Plan next steps.
