report
from
the President and Executive Director
The Independent Living Centre of Waterloo
Region (ILCWR) has been serving our
community for 25 years!
It all began in 1982 as a small program of
the Mennonite Central Committee (Ontario),
and five years later it became an independent
non-profit charity. ILCWR was the first
independent living centre in Canada, and
Kitchener was the birthplace of the Canadian
independent living movement. We do have
some historical credence!
During the first two decades the organization
suffered through many moves and its main
Sue Morgan
Fred Kinsie office was housed in five different locations.
In October 2004 ILCWR acquired a long-term
lease at 127 Victoria Street South, an open, welcoming, newly renovated space on the
second floor of an old shoe factory ... and one of the funkiest office spaces in the region!
ILCWR is a great place to work. Of our current 250 staff members, 66 have worked for
ILCWR for more than five years, 24 for more than ten, 16 for more than 15, and four for
more than 20. That speaks volumes about the positive culture of the organization and
particularly about its core values of justice, dignity and team work. We are very proud of
our staff and our board of directors for their dedication and commitment to ILCWR and
the individuals we serve.
As one looks back over a quarter century, the impulse is also to look at the future: what’s
in store for the next 25 years?
After tremendous growth during the second decade, funding flat-lined in the new
millennium. Our main funder, the Ontario Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care made
sweeping changes in an attempt to control the growing costs of the health care system.
Part of their strategy is a move away from institutional care and toward (more affordable)
community-based services. This will likely translate into potential growth opportunities
for ILCWR.
Integration is a key piece of health system transformation and that will mean more
collaboration, partnerships, and networking to ensure the system is working as efficiently
as possible. We will be held increasingly accountable to funders to show what impact we
are making with the money with which we have been entrusted.
Program-wise, we’re doing many of the same things we were doing in the early years.
There have been program tweaks and new initiatives — including youth in transition and
sensitivity training, and the morphing of access shows into awards events — but the core
programs are much the same. It might be time to diversify, to branch out a little, to try
some new things.

That, of course, will require more money. Since 2006, we have ramped up our fundraising
expertise through some generous funding from our national association, the Canadian
Association of Independent Living Centres. We’ve put an extra push on this year with a
25th anniversary Circle of Friends campaign. We are very pleased at our board’s response
— the members targeted the Silver Circle (the highest category) and collectively easily
achieved it. We are also very grateful to all the individuals and organizations that have
joined our Circle of Friends.
An opportunity facing us in the next 25 years is multiculturalism. Our community is
much more diverse than it was in 1982 and projections are for that to continue.
Throughout our history, we have promoted the inclusion of persons with disabilities as
full citizens; we now need to expand that inclusion to our neighbours of other faiths,
backgrounds and traditions.
Philosophically, we’ve changed very little (a good thing!). Our core values today are
the same core values as those of the founding members; our mission and philosophy also
mirror what was imagined 25 years ago. We’ve recently restated our mission, philosophy
and values as a brief statement of corporate culture. Eleven words now inform each one
of us and ensure that our unique way of delivering services will continue for years to come.
We both are very hopeful and excited about the future of ILCWR. We remain confident
that our services will continue to meet the needs of persons with disabilities as they strive
to achieve their preferred level of independence in our community.

attendant
services
Attendant Services at ILCWR are a unique
set of programs that are designed to assist
adults with physical disabilities to live more
independently in their own homes. Under
the consumers’ direction, attendants assist
with personal support and homemaking
activities of daily living.
The Outreach program assists over 100
people, for up to three hours a day, while
the Supportive Housing program offers an
enhanced level of support to 35 individuals
in three separate locations. At the Mooregate,
Shamrock and Kiwanis sites, consumers
receive the same type of pre-scheduled visits
for personal support and homemaking, but they also have access
to attendants on call 24 hours a day both to meet urgent needs
and to support them in living a more flexible lifestyle. Through our
Respite program, ILCWR assists approximately 100 individuals and
families each year by providing flexible caregiver relief in the
consumers’ homes to give the primary caregivers a break.
This past year was very challenging as the decision was made, in
April 2006, to close the Albert Street supportive housing site – a
move intended to address increasing financial pressures. By January
we had assisted all ten consumers to transition to our remaining
sites or to other programs. This move enabled us to transfer money
back into the Outreach program and subsequently release 325 hours
of service per week to more than 30 consumers on our waiting list.
ILCWR continued to work in successful partnerships. Through participation in the Attendant
Service Network, a collective of the four agencies that provide Attendant Services in the
Waterloo-Wellington area, we have worked to streamline the intake and assessment process,
improving service and access to consumers. We look forward to being able to make joint
network submissions in the future for service expansion and enhancement using the
region-wide data these processes have provided.
The Youth in Transition group, that started as a pilot program in cooperation with
Participation House, has continued to flourish. Now in its second year, this group meets
weekly for fellowship, food and fun and for the opportunity to learn together about the
challenges the youth are facing as they transition to adulthood.
All of these programs operate because of the dedication of our attendants, supervisors and
the staff who work tirelessly in the background. Providing services in a consumer-directed
environment poses many special challenges but the benefits of assisting our consumers to
live independently and be active participants in their communities are very rewarding.

community support
services
In 1981, the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms was signed and was adopted in
1982 as part of the Canadian Constitution. The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms
guarantees fundamental freedoms such as equality and mobility. This ensures that
Canadians have the right to have housing, pursue employment and be treated equally.
ILCWR started that same year and since then has worked to ensure that citizens with
disabilities have these rights and freedoms.
The Community Support Services’ programs work with consumers to help them attain their
goals. We work with consumers on any issues of concern they have, with the family and
friends who have questions and with the community to ensure that everyone has access to
programs and services.
This year there have been many changes in the program area and it has given ILCWR the
opportunity to do a review of what this department would like to do in the future. We
are building a new team and the ideas are flowing and plans are being made.
Community Support Services include Information and Referral, Individual Advocacy, Peer
Support, Education and Promotion and Direct Funding.
HIGHLIGHTS OF THE PAST YEAR
Women with disabilities indicated the
desire to meet as a group to discuss
various issues. The Women’s Support
Group was started and held monthly
meetings on various topics. Events
included guest speakers, movies and
lots of information-sharing. Through
a generous donation received from the
Zonta Club of Kitchener-Waterloo the
Women’s Support Group will be able
to plan exciting and interesting events
this fall.
The United Nations’ International Day
of the Disabled was recognized with
the launch of the film “SHAMELESS —
the Art of Disability.”
The Ontario Human Rights Code is being updated and a meeting was held with Minister
Michael Bryant, the Attorney General of Ontario regarding the changes.

Kids on the Block has been part of ILCWR for 25 years. This
terrific program continues to delight and educate thousands
of children and adults in the community. Throughout the year,
the ‘Kids’ entertained at over 50 locations to an audience of
more than 6,500. Many great letters of thanks have been
received from the people who saw the performances.
We re-organized the Community Support Services’ department
and created a new position for Public Education and
Awareness. To help educate the community about disabilities,
a Sensitivity Training program is being developed. A grant
was received from the Kitchener and Waterloo Community
Foundation which will assist in getting this program developed
in the next months.
The Direct Funding program continues to grow and be a
valuable service for those who choose to be self managers
and direct their own attendant services. As of March 31, 2007
there are 715 active self-managers on direct funding, of which
31 are from the Waterloo Region. There are currently 321
people on the wait-list for an interview. The average wait to get on the program is
approximately four years at this point.
The Community Support Services department is looking forward to the future and the
exciting projects that the department is planning.
“
Having been a member of the Kids On The Block troupe some years
ago, I witnessed, first hand, the significant impact that outreach has
in shaping how we define community. Over the past 25 year, ILCWR
has demonstrated an outstanding ability to evolve to meet the
challenges that face disabled individuals within our community
while advocating provincially and nationally for an improved
quality of life for individuals living with disabilities. ILCWR
continues to set an outstanding example for service and support
to persons with disabilities across Canada.

2007
A silent and penny auction is held as part of the Independent Living Awards. The auctions
are popular events and a valuable benefit to our Access Fund. Created in 2003, the Access
Fund provides financial assistance to support independence through the purchase of
much-needed mobility devices for individuals with physical disabilities.
Since its inception in 2003, 29 individuals have benefited from Access Fund grants totalling
over $36,000.
Our sincere thanks to our sponsors, staff and volunteers for your support and assistance.
