Message from the Chairperson of the Board
of Directors and the Executive Director
Message from the Chairperson and
the Executive Director
“The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago.
The second best time is now.” Chinese Proverb
“Plant trees to benefit another generation.” Caecilius
Statius, Synephebi
“We live in the world when we love it” Rabindranath Tagore
Members of the Birchliff community planted a tree thirty years ago - a special tree called “Phyllis
Griffiths Neighbourhood Centre”. The name of the tree changed and became Birchmount Bluffs
Neighbourhood Centre, but the roots and fruits continue to grow stronger and more tasteful with
every year that passes. This year we are celebrating thirty years since the BBNC tree was planted!
We are symbolically planting a new tree this anniversary because the first quote at the top of this
page means that it is never too late to accomplish the things you want to accomplish.
The year for which we are reporting began in April 1, 2014 and ended on March 31, 2015. Overall it
was a successful year at Birchmount Bluff Neighbourhood Centre (BBNC). The year we are
reporting was full of changes and accomplishments and reminders as to why we do the work we do
at BBNC. To list every accomplishment would be impossible; however, to illustrate, we are using an
important example. BBNC received approval of funding for a fourth year to assist with delivering
services for youth in the East Eglinton Kennedy Park area. This funding will include a new
neighbourhood: Iondale. This program is developed for the youth by the youth, and is just one
example of the amazing work being done at BBNC.
Another accomplishment was the consolidation of our Community Engagement Awards (CEA). The
Second CEA was held in April 2014, the award winners of the 2014 CEA were in the youth category:
Thakksha Jeyakullaraja, a remarkable youth leader. The adult award belonged to Melissa Simas, a
no less remarkable leader in the community. The Small Business/Community Organization Award
went to Polycultural Immigrant & Community Services (Scarborough Branch). The BBNC has been
very lucky to have as Master of Ceremonies of both events the award-winning journalist Sue
Sgambati.
Perhaps the more important accomplishment however, was the participation of volunteers in all
events, programs and activities of the agency. You may notice the space at BBNC where the
employment program used to function is now the volunteer hub.
The work of the volunteers is perhaps the best fruit that the BBNC tree produced. From our year of
success thank you to all our volunteers. None of this could happen without you.
Yours truly

Our story values:
RESPECT
We believe that every person has the right to be met with compassion, accepted in a nonjudgmental way, and treated with respect and dignity.
Wellness in all its forms is the foundation from which
we can all strive to meet our fullest potential!
BBNC’s Fitness and Wellness classes provide a base for all community members to engage fully and
completely. With a focus on dignity and respect, and a directed plan of inclusion, 142 full or partial subsidies,
through BBNC’s OPEN DOORS program, were provided to community members who otherwise would not be
able to engage in fitness and wellness programs. Among the newly engaged participants are newcomers and
racialized communities.
Annual Report 2014-2015 page 7
Our story values:
DIVERSITY
We embrace diversity in all of its forms, in our clients, agency and community, and
support non-discriminatory policies and practices.
When Farida first came to
Canada in 2012, she did not
know anyone and felt isolated
from the community around her.
After joining BBNC’s Bengali
program, she now has
developed a number of
friendships. “This program
changed my life,” she said. “I
feel physically more active now
than before. I am also
participating in recreation
programs like singing, which
also keeps me mentally
delightful.”
As newcomers to Canada in 2009 from our native land of Sri Lanka, and new parents in 2011 to our only
daughter, we began our journey as parents by attending the Family Resource Centre. I felt lonely and lacking
in support before but since the initial onset of attendance by my daughter and me, we have also engaged in
other interactive and independent programs offered by the Centre.
My child is now 3.5 years old and has improved a lot since she started coming to this Centre. At home we
only speak in our first language of Tamil and while attending programs at BBNC, this is where our daughter
learned how to speak English. I always felt embraced by the staff of the programs and we would like to
express very many thanks for teaching our daughter and supporting our family over the years.
Annual Report 2014-2015 page 8
Our story values:
INCLUSIVITY
We actively seek ways to welcome all members of our community and ensure they have the
opportunity to participate in meaningful ways.
We first came to BBNC because it
was important to our family to
access quality and affordable
programming given that we were
supporting a family of five on a very
limited income. Discovering that
BBNC offered a subsidy program as
well was particularly beneficial.
Our 3rd was born with severe
eczema and as a result I hovered
and watched over him more closely
than was required by his siblings.
The Family Resource Centre
provided us with the opportunity to
get my son out of the house and
begin to socialize with other
children and begin to successfully
engage with other adults. With the
support of staff, my son has literally
speaking, grown up in the BBNC
community. As a result of his
experiences at BBNC, he is fully
prepared for his entry into
Kindergarten this fall.
When funding for BBNC’s seniors cooking program ended last year, its 15
members, who hailed from diverse cultural backgrounds, decided there must be
a way to keep their tightly knit group together. “We can keep our group going,”
said Rangi, a senior who lives with chronic pain issues. “We can all cook and we
get along great. We can do this without a facilitator.” With the supports of
program staff, the program became a peer led club with shared leadership and
peer support. A year later, the group has become incredibly strong. “Cooking
and leading together, we’ve grown into a close supportive group”, says Celi.
“Sure, we’ve learned to cook healthier, but more importantly, we found
friendships.”
Annual Report 2014-2015 page 9
Our story values:
BUILDING CAPACITY
We nurture the development of individual and community capacity by offering programs
and services that enhance independence and build upon abilities.
When seniors support their senior peers to connect to community, social change can happen. In BBNC’s
SOAR program, a diverse team of senior volunteers is working to do just that. They conduct outreach to
neighbourhood seniors disconnected from community activities, with the aim of linking them to area programs.
I know what it feels like to be isolated and cut off due to being ill or low income.” said a passionate SOAR
member. “Helping seniors who face similar barriers is something I’m passionate about and because I’ve
gained so many skills and confidence at BBNC, I know I can make a difference.”
Annual Report 2014—2015  page 10
Our story values:
EQUITABLE ACCESS
We commit to removing barriers that restrict individuals and groups from accessing
services and participating in our programs.
Using civic action to promote greater community access for people with disabilities was likely the biggest story
of our Active and Able program last year. Along with our many partners, we offered civic trainings and community organizing sessions, supporting people with disabilities to engage their voices in the municipal and
provincial elections and the City’s Poverty Reduction Strategy. Nancy, one of our active civic volunteers with a
disability who also lives in poverty, is a great example of this. “I’ve seen first-hand how when residents organize, we can make change happen for our community,” she said, when asked why she put in so much of herself into community work. Through the ballot box, consultations, deputations at City Hall, many of our members called for a more accessible city, with access to decent jobs, a livable income and a more empowered
civic voice.
At the centre we continued to provide people with disabilities with an array of accessible fitness, wellness and
social support activities.
Annual Report 2014-2015 page 11
Our story values:
COLLABORATION
We believe that each of us is enriched when we are able to work collaboratively with one
another to share experiences, perspectives, information, knowledge and supports.
BBNC supported residents and
community groups to organize and
meet through providing space and
linkages to resources. One example is
Cathy, a passionate member and
volunteer who joined a community
organizing group that met at BBNC.
“Thanks to the opportunities I’ve been
provided, to learn and contribute, I’ve
learned so much and become so
passionate that I feel like I am making
a positive impact on issues like poverty
reduction.” We organized passionately
around key concerns faced by low
income Scarborough residents, such
as lack of affordable housing and
poverty.
In addition, the Youth Drop-In
organized youth conversations on
Toronto’s Poverty Reduction Strategy
and created a powerful video
showcasing employment barriers
facing Scarborough youth.
He is here every day possible. He gives of
his heart and his sole. He doesn’t have
material riches to share, but he has the
riches of the heart - particularly his smile.
“Just a wee note of thanks for all of your
acts of kindness throughout Olivia’s year at
BBNC,” writes Heather of volunteer
Lenard. Lenard’s is but one story of the
score of volunteers who’s daily dedication
to the programs and services of BBNC.
Annual Report 2014—2015 page 12
Our story values:
INTEGRITY
We employ honesty and ethical decision-making practices in all that we do.
From charity to solidarity from Share Christmas to SHARE365
For many years BBNC delivered a successful “hamper” program that benefited more than fifteen hundred
people. It was developed as a response to the needs of families in south west Scarborough during the
Christmas period and as one donor said “It puts a band aid where a cast is needed.”
After very comprehensive work between staff, board of directors, volunteers of the program and participants,
the outline of the new program was presented to the executive committee. The new program SHARE365
reflects the alignment of a new program, no longer as a “hamper program”, but as a program addressing the
needs of south west Scarborough on a systemic format taking into consideration the needs of the recipients,
the will of the donors and the alignment of BBNC and all its program to its strategic directions and values. In
this case adopting the poverty strategy for Toronto.
Annual Report 2014-2015 page 13
Our story values:
ACCOUNTABILITY
We recognize that our community has entrusted us with an important responsibility, so we
take care to be responsible and accountable for the management of our agency within
available resources.
BBNC’s Youth Drop-In Centre offers community youth services that include pre-employment supports,
information and referrals, volunteer opportunities and informal counselling. Our programs have focused on
molding young people to become leaders in their communities, while providing essential knowledge and lifeskills that support positive pathways in life. Using an integrated model of service the YDI provides access and
supports to youth with diverse disabilities.
The Eglinton East Kennedy Park Youth Services Providers Network works with local youth and community
members to expand the development and collaboration of programs and services from local youth and youth
serving agencies. EEKPYSPN works with the community to organize/facilitate meetings, workshops, focus
groups, information sessions, and community events. In addition, EEKPYSPN collaborates on building
various capacity building initiatives for the community and works towards strengthening partnerships with
youth, residents, and voluntary sector organizations, the government and businesses.
