Invest In Inclusion or Invest in Exclusion: The Choice is Ours! Presentation ...LiveWorkPlay
When talking to the general public about disability and accessibility, this is often what comes to mind: they see a person in a wheelchair who cannot get through the door. These types of barriers remain of course, and I am sure right here in this city someone will go out looking for work tomorrow and experience this very same injustice. But today I want to talk about a different type of barrier, a different level of injustice: what if the very people and systems that are supposed to be supporting a person with a disability to have success in the community are deliberately investing in keeping them out of the community? What if they are discouraged from even trying to get through the door?

Address to Meals on Wheels Ottawa AGM 2015 "More Than A Meal"LiveWorkPlay
I was pleased for the opportunity to contribute to celebrating and promoting this incredible organization that delivers an incomparable and inconceivable service to the Ottawa community to the benefit of more than 250 citizens every day. The difference this makes for seniors, people with disabilities, and others who have difficulty leaving their home impacts more than just those individuals. It is better for our community as a whole when people have choices that reduce the need for institutions and allows people more time and a longer time to remain in their own homes as our neighbours and friends.

Person-Centred Thinking and Building Social Capital Supporting an Included Life in the Community with Homes, Jobs, and Friends for People with Intellectual Disabilities
Keenan Wellar, MA and Julie Kingstone, MEd
Co-Founders & Co-Leaders, LiveWorkPlay.ca
Starting in 2008, LiveWorkPlay embarked on a journey of “de-programming” by making a shift from congregated programs to authentic community-based, person-centred, and assets-focused thinking and processes. Beyond exciting outcomes such as first homes, first jobs, and first experiences engaging in the community with other citizens, with respect to the experience of an included life, the impact is all about the development of reciprocal relationships and interdependence (social capital).
Through funding from the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities, Workforce WindsorEssex has had the opportunity to explore the non-profit sector and share what we have found with local elementary and secondary students.
This presentation highlights the benefits of working in a non-profit organization and the culture of the sector. It encourages those looking for work or planning to attend post-secondary to consider the non-profit sector as a viable career option.
Workforce WindsorEssex has had the privilege of presenting alongside representatives from the Association of Fundraising Professionals.
Celebrating 150 Years of Sarah A Reed
All of us here at Sarah A. Reed Children’s Center are thrilled to be featured in the April 2021 edition of Business Magazine alongside Gale Magyar and her team at Sarah Reed Senior Living! The article in this special “Women in Leadership” issue celebrates the rich 150-year history of our organization, which was started back in 1871 by Sarah Ann Reed and 30 local women who were committed to improving the lives of Erie County’s most vulnerable population of women, orphans, children and families. In 1986, two independent non-profits formed – Sarah A. Reed Children’s Center and Sarah Reed Senior Living – and they continue to shine brightly and provide the Erie community with compassionate, cutting-edge programs and services. We know Sarah is smiling down on us and would be proud of the great work being done by Adrienne Dixon, Ph.D., Gale Magyar, NHA, CASP, and all the staff members from both agencies, as we continue to carry on Sarah’s legacy of caring and positively impacting the lives of so many individuals and families in our community and the Commonwealth.

representatives of the Christian Appalachian Project that faith can
serve as the impetus for outstanding work. The people of CAP serve
God by providing assistance to areas of Appalachia suffering from
major catastrophic events. This matters because there are a number of
areas in the region which suffer from disastrous natural events such as
floods, tornadoes, and winter storms. Combined with poverty,
isolation, and a lack of trained responders, these events can leave the
people who live in these areas without homes and without help. In
light of this learning, I plan to learn more about CAP, as well as about
how I can be of help. As a Christian, I am always searching for
opportunities to put my faith into action. I definitely support CAP and
all that they are doing--they really are making a difference.”
