| NDP- Simcoe North - Understands The Value of HRC Click here and go to the NDP-Simoce North Blog and Vote for your Main Election Issue is HRC Since the beginning of our fight in 2004, the NDP has understood the need for the specialized care and excellence our loved ones receive at Huronia Regional Centre. Michael Prue, MPP Beaches - East York - NDP visited Orillia and our residents back in 2004. He could not believe his eyes as to the excellences and the facilities we have. Michael knew first hand that we cannot close this centre, and that more should exist for the more vulnerable. Click here to re-visit Michael's speech in 2004 It is 2007 and we are still fighting this closure. The NDP - SImcoe North Riding, Andrew Hill understands the excellence, the quality of care and the knowledge set of the staff at HRC. With family that worked at HRC, and growing up in Orillia, he understands first hand the wealth of experts, and a city who is not only familiar to the needs of the developmentally disabled, but have built upon years of knowledge the best of services to the most fragile of our province. Whether HRC remains under the government or in the hands of a private sector, the bottom line, is that it is a waste to throw out the most talented and knowledgeable in this sector. And that is just what the Liberal Government has done. The PC party, holds a place for the Autistic plight, however, this party fails to acknowledge that Huronia Regional Centre has expertise for Autistic adults, a knowledge set that they too are willing to throw out the door. A knowledge set that saved the life of an autistic son Jacques Gariepy. Click here for Jacques story and the miraculous change in Jacques' life once he moved into HRC in 2000. Support the Simcoe North, NDP, and help them raise this as an election issue, not just for HRC but for the many 200,000 families in Ontario, who still do not have the proper supports.
