OASIS Praises Ontario Government for Funding Earmarked to Address Wait-lists

TORONTO, Ontario April 11, 2014 /Canada NewsWire/ - Today, Ontario Agencies Supporting Individuals with Special Needs (OASIS) President Jane Joris praised the Ontario Government for announcing funding earmarked to address growing wait-lists in developmental services.

"This announcement is a positive step forward in addressing the mounting crisis situation in developmental services. We are grateful for this critical investment, and look forward to working together as partners in a consultation process to ensure that the needs of the community are met with this funding", said Jane Joris, OASIS President.

"We encourage all political parties to support this positive step in helping develop long term plans that aim to ensure that Ontario's most vulnerable have the opportunity to become fully engaged members of our communities".

OASIS is a volunteer run, member driven organization. Our member agencies serve over 65,000 of Ontario's most vulnerable citizens and employ 25,000 full and part-time staff. Our 172 member agencies currently provide more than 85% of all developmental services funded by the Ministry of Community and Social Services.

Be A Donor

"Becoming a registered organ and tissue donor takes less than three minutes and can save up to eight lives. I encourage Ontarians, health care organizations, clubs, families and businesses large and small to set up a page for the Gift of 8 Movement and share it through their social networks to encourage more people to register as organ donors and save more lives." Deb Matthews - Ontario Minister of Health and Long -Term Care

Many Ontarians believe they are registered donors, but aren't.

Even if you've signed a donor card, you might not be a registered donor. It only takes a couple of minutes.

Help me help Ontario meet its goal of 300,000 organ donor registrations.
