This report highlights the commitment and dedication that our Staff and Team to deliver a complete range of programmes, activities, services, workshops to the specific needs of our members with severe physical and mild cognitive disabilities. Joanne Heward Chair, Board 2014 was marked by full attendance, robust programmes and enthusiastic participation from over 170 active members, yet overshadowed by a difficult financial climate. We have juggled many necessary budget cuts in a challenging fundraising environment. We continue to stay focused on our bottom line, while working to maintain and deliver our full range of services and programmes. With the full effort and support of our Management team, we effectively implemented many corrective and cost saving measures that, coupled with dynamic new funding initiatives, allowed us to close the year successfully with a balanced budget. We feel this difficult and challenging environment will continue in the years ahead, yet remain vigilant and dedicated to running a lean operation, so as to deliver the same level and quality of services we have been known for since 1998. We salute our many dedicated employees, teachers, volunteers, Board Members, Community Partners and valued donors for their generous contributions and unwavering support and commitment. Ilham Bouzouma Sr. Manager Centre To each of you we say: THANK YOU! Joanne Heward Ilham Bouzouma 2014 Annual Activity Report 4 Action Centre The Reality of Living with a Disability… With a declared interest in providing a different reality to people living with disabilities, the Action In Québec, more than 765,000 people suffer from a disability, (10.4% of the population. Centre is dedicated to delivering enriching activities in a caring, respectful and humane environment. (Source : OPHQ) Our Members are more than likely to be marginalized by the rest of society, habitually categorized as « different ». This ‘marginalization’ often leads to isolation, lack of self-confidence, confidence in general and frustration – resulting in a high incidence of depression in this group. In fulfilling our long standing mission, the Action Centre remains fully aligned with the United Nation’s values and actions as laid out in the message of Ban Ki-Moon, UN Secretary General, in his 2012 speech for International Day of Disabled Persons: We must remove any and all barriers that affect the inclusion and participation of disabled people in society, especially the necessary behavioural changes that will eliminate further stigma and reduce institutionalized discrimination (...) This multi-dimensional exclusion represents a huge cost, not only to persons with disabilities but to society as a whole. We are reminded each year that true development can only be sustainable when it is equitable, inclusive and accessible for all, Ban Ki-Moon, Secretary General, United Nations International Day of Persons with Disabilities 2014 Annual Activity Report 5 Action Centre Mission, Vision and Services The Action Centre is a unique, caring, bilingual day centre for over 170 people with disabilities, many of whom live below the poverty line. Open from Monday to Friday, nearly 60 members visit each day. The Centre seeks to deliver a wide range of services and activities that meet the needs of our diverse membership. With an experienced and dedicated team of staff and volunteers, we work hard to cater to all needs. We provide as personalized a service as possible, creating a comfortable and compassionate environment, allowing our members a safe haven and reliable «home away from home». « Chez-soi ». The Action Centre is designed to fill a indispensable role in the lives of our members. We are viewed throughout the island an extension to Montreal’s bilingual essential services by providing much needed assistance and quantifiable cost avoidance to all levels of government, and the overburdened social services and health care networks. Brief History The Centre was founded in 1998 by five people, three of whom are still active. Co-Founders Maria Mustillo, Claude Sabbah and Daniel Jarry continue to work full-time. “Back then, when a disabled person completed their rehab, there was nowhere to go. That's why I felt it was so important to help co-found this organization.”Daniel J. We provide a refuge of hope, mental and physical stimulation, education and acceptance. We watch as our members thrive in a milieu that promotes self esteem, personal growth, self confidence, independence and well-being. . 2014 Annual Activity Report 6 Action Centre Educational Program The Action Centre offers its members a wide range of workshops and activities designed to meet their needs and contribute to their development. These courses are evolving constantly, as determined through careful and thoughtful observation and via regular input from those attending and participating. Members can choose from 24 different weekly activities and workshops, depending on their needs and interests. This year we added three new courses: another French Computer Class (Level.2), wheel-chair dancing and a personal development workshop. Movement Physical exercise and stimulation works the heart, muscles, and helps move more oxygen to the brain. Members have the opportunity to be more active during these periods, movin’ and groovin as they wish, as they don’t have enough such opportunity otherwise. . • Chair Dancing • Boccia • Physical Exercices The release of endorphins (the ‘pleasure hormones’) occurs naturally during times of dynamic activity, and acts to reduce pain, and as anti-stress remedy for the well being and happiness of all.

They work hard to deliver an individual and personalized experience, best suited to maximize learning, comprehension, retention and enjoyment. Here is the testimony of three such teachers sharing their perspectives and experiences. Andrea P. teaches meditation, personal development and wheel /chair dancing classes. “My goal is to help our members maintain a sense well-being, cheerfulness and abundance… Participants often arrive feeling sad and morose, and I try to ensure they leave invigorated and revitalized” Nicole O. teaches Visual Arts at the Centre. "Art is wonderful tool to promote social integration and achievement among the members,…Art enhances many personal skills including patience, initiative and perseverance, self-expression, creativity and self-esteem." Allison is very busy, teaching 7 different courses to our members. For her, the Centre represents a home away from home ...” My students behave like a family: I see lots of support among members.

Abdellah remarked that the Centre offers a large and diverse range of activities. “Here, people can easily find a course or workshop that suits their interests. Through doing and learning, they fill their time productively and can put aside their problems for a moment." 2014 Annual Activity Report 25 Action Centre Volunteers & Students/Interns Tonya B., Intern, Dawson College “The Action Centre has really helped me to better understand this wonderful community.
