Who Are We?
We are a group of volunteer parents, who meet twice a month in order to create and
implement action plans that will improve the quality of life for all families in our community.
Not only does our PAC function as a peer support network for each other, but we speak with
many parents throughout the community and bring their issues to the table as well.
What Has the PAC Accomplished?
- Radio guest on "Social Insight with Lynne Bennett." Barriers
discussed included: transportation, waiting lists and housing
- - The Letter of the Day: "Community Could Help Ease the Suffering
of Poverty." and "Community Transportation Program Needed" printed
in the North Bay Nugget
- Proposal to establish a Rideshare program in our community was
created and presented to the District of Social Services Administration
Board (DNSSAB)
- Presentation given in Belleville, ON in order to promote the
creation of a PAC in that community
- Monthly newsletters created and distributed to child and family
serving agencies
- Creation and distribution of a Community Survey in order to
assess widespread interest in the action plans proposed by the
PAC
- Holiday fundraiser to support the creation and implementation
of outreach activities of the PAC in the community
What Do We Plan To Do?
- Photo project in order to explore and present housing issues
- Create a petition to draw awareness and support to the issue
of safe and affordable housing
- Raise awareness by giving presentations throughout the community
- Create an educational video exploring issues related to social
exclusion/inclusion
- Continue our plans to minimize transportation barriers for families
- Presentations to be given throughout the province in order to
raise awareness and to promote the establishment of Parent Advisory
Committees in other communities
