In a healthy Town, everyone should have opportunities for education, housing, leisure and participation in the community.

A United Way agency, Community Living Oakville’s staff and volunteers work closely with special Oakvilleans.  In this time of the Covid-19 crisis, this poses special difficulties for the protection of staff, volunteers and clients, who are currently being supported in their homes.  Physical distancing is not always possible, and is too limiting to the personal support that is needed.

The answer is PPE: Personal Protective Equipment.  Thanks to Project and Construction Management Inc. (PCM),  Community Living Oakville has just received 300 protective face shields so that they can continue to provide the personal support the children, youth and adults they serve really need.

“These face shields will be going to our frontline staff who work everyday in the group homes of the people we support here in Oakville,”

stated Alexandre Hoeck Murray – Community Living Oakville’s Director of Service and Quality Enhancement.

Community Living Oakville is accepting donations of all PPE:  help our developmentally challenged children, youth and adults get through this difficult time by contacting them at info@oakcl.org, and help keep our clients, and dedicated staff and volunteers safe!
