#5toSurvive Campaign Championed on CTV Ottawa by Tina Williams, Community Living Upper Ottawa Valley

We are “good news” people here at LiveWorkPlay. We focus on showcasing progress and positive developments to support inclusion and social change. But it is a reality that like all organizations delivering supports and services, we need sufficient resources to do our work. And the objective data explains why this is becoming increasingly difficult. Some agencies in Ontario are already dealing with unsustainable programs and services – reducing or canceling some of their services. Many of our own supporters are well aware of these issues and asking how they can help.

Community Living Ontario has made it both easy and effective to show your support for LiveWorkPlay and our peers in the Developmental Services sector with their “5 to Survive” campaign. This includes an online postcard that you can fill out in less than a minute! The goal is 10,000 postcards and they are already moving in on 2,000 after just a few days.
