NUAL REVIEW - The Bob Rumball

Chairman’s Report
As Chair of the Ontario Community
Centre of the Deaf (BRCD) it is
my pleasure to share with you the
Strategic Plan that has been developed
by the current Board, our Executive
Director Derek Rumball, and various
managers from BRCD, BRHD, OCD,
and BRAD.
We realize that we can never be
satisfied with the status quo. We strive
to strengthen our services and face the
challenge of finding individuals with
Chris Kenopic
Chairman
experience in governance to serve on
the Board of Directors. In today’s
society in the not for profit sector we see increased accountability
to our funders, our members and most importantly the Deaf
community.
We will build a strong foundation for the future of the Rumball
organizations with a strong and concise strategic plan.
There are 6 areas that the strategic plan will focus on:
1. Governance,
2. Programs & Services,
3. Finance,
4. Staff,
5. Facilities, and
6. Communication
The members of the Board will be given specific tasks to work
with the management in achieving our expected outcomes. We
will report regularly to our members as to the progress we are
making.
Since the OCCD has been founded, so many great things have
happened. We want to be sure we have a strong foundation in
order to continue the work that we do.
I am grateful to be working with Derek and his management
Team. The management and staff do an outstanding job. They are
committed to serving you well. Please join me in thanking them
for their work.
We also thank the members and donors who believe in our
services and continue to support us! It is you who inspire us to do
more.

2013
annual review
It is the mission of The Bob Rumball Centre
for the Deaf to provide opportunities for a
higher quality of life for Deaf people while
preserving and promoting their language
and culture.
Ontario Community Centre for the Deaf
Highlights of the Year
Adult Education Program
The Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities
provided one-time funding for 2 Literacy and Basic Skills
(LBS) assistant teachers to aid in teaching our increasing
numbers of learners with additional special needs. Many
of these learners would be left isolated in their homes
if unable to attend this LBS program. Our Citizenship
and Immigration Canada (CIC) funding allowed us to
service over 200 clients and learners in both Employment
Services for Deaf Immigrants and Language Instruction for
Newcomers to Canada (LINC), with some people finding
employment and others obtaining Canadian Citizenship.
Parent-Infant Program
2012 saw a marked increase in the number of registered
families who have English as second language. Multilanguage brochures and translators assist us in providing
access for these families. There has also been an increase
in the number of families whose children have unilateral
(one ear) or mild hearing loss. The Parent Infant Program
continues to support agencies and hospitals in finding
research participants, including the Children's Hospital of
Eastern Ontario.
Ontario Early Years Centre
Our OEYC program hosts monthly workshops, delivered
in partnership with Toronto Public Health nurses. All
workshops are free and are ASL interpreted as we continue
to be the only Early Years Centre drop-in program in Toronto
to offer services to culturally Deaf parents. As a member of
the Deaf Parents Resource Group, we are learning how to
better meet the needs of Deaf parents.
Rumball Early Education Centre
The Rumball Early Education Centre benefits from the
Campbell's “Labels for Education” program in which
collected Campbell’s product labels are redeemed for
educational resources. In 2012, we were recognized
as one of the top collecting schools and were able to
purchase teaching materials, games and equipment. A
donation to a food bank was also made in our name.
The implementation of the new ELECT curriculum was
begun.
Developmental Services 2012/2013
We united into a partnership with The Brown Group of
Companies Inc. who have built a new apartment building
in the Victoria Park/ Sheppard area. The building is mainly
for seniors and 21 of those units are affordable and available

to the Deaf community. The building has
opened up this year and we were fortunate to
relocate some of our individuals we currently
support into the new apartment building.
This was a great opportunity and experience.
The Sensory Partners continue to work
together in creating awareness throughout the
province about our services.
We are members of the Faith and Culture
Inclusion Network and have recently accepted the
offer to host the 2015 OASIS Conference.
Adult Residential Program
It has been another year of change in ARP, bringing many
new faces to the staff team which has allowed for changes
to programing and planning. We also have a new individual
join the ARP family. The last year has also brought about the
creation of the DS Social Club which allows individuals from
all of the DS programs to get together on a monthly basis and
enjoy great food, friendship and fun. Plans are currently in
the works for our next big vacation and we can’t wait.
Progressive Assisted Living Program
The last year has been full of change and challenge for
PAL. We unfortunately had to say goodbye to a long time
member of our family. However, with the goodbye has come
a wonderful hello as we have welcomed a new member to our
PAL family all the way from New Brunswick. We continue
to work closely with several local colleges and universities
to host placements and allow students the opportunity to
gain practical work experience in the field of Developmental
Services. This is an experience that enhances the lives
of both the students and the individuals of PAL. We look
forward to what adventures the next year holds in store for us.

EXPENSES
Program
Supportive Independent Living Program
Bi-weekly cooking classes head the excitement in SIL.
Interactive classes in a supportive group setting teach our
Individuals about healthy foods and the ease of preparation. A
hands on practice, followed by the enjoyment of eating your
“culinary masterpiece” encourages even the most diehard
take-out fan to join in. When the participants arrive with
Tupperware in hand, you know the program is a success!
Weekends can be spent exploring Toronto and the
surrounding area. When not watching sporting events (their
favourite!) the SIL Individuals can be found visiting flea
markets and experiencing Toronto’s many cultural events.
Having a weekend staff person organize trips, has encouraged
them to step out and experience the exciting world around
them. What’s happening in Toronto? Just ask one of our
Individuals!
Day Program
New programs and activities have been developed so every
individual has the opportunity to explore their own unique
interests and skills within these activities.
We have celebrated a variety of cultures, traditions and
customs within Canada. Participants planned for and
enjoyed the festival of dance during Diwali, they tried
new foods during the ‘Wild Wild West’ celebration
and learned of new customs and traditions during
our Multicultural Day.
Our packaging area provided printing and
work contracts for the individuals who choose
to participate in the work component of the
Day Program.
And our wood shop was very busy as
participants honed their woodworking skills
making a variety of projects for themselves and
the various programs within the Centre.
