PETITION
SAVE HURONIA REGIONAL CENTRE
HOME TO PEOPLE WITH DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES!

To The Legislative Assembly of Ontario:

WHEREAS Dalton McGuinty and his Liberal Government were elected based on their promise to rebuild public services in Ontario.

WHEREAS the Minister of Community and Social Services has announced plans to close Huronia Regional Centre, home to people
with developmental disabilities, many of whom have multiple diagnoses and severe problems that cannot be met in the community.

WHEREAS closing Huronia Regional Centre will have a devastating impact on residents with developmental disabilities, their
families, the developmental services sector and the economies of the local communities, and

WHEREAS Ontario could use the professional staff and facilities of Huronia Regional Centre to extend specialized services, support
and professional training to many more clients who live in the community, in partnership with families and community agencies.

WE the undersigned petition the Legislative Assembly of Ontario to direct the Government to keep Huronia Regional Centre,
home to people with developmental disabilities open, and to transform them into ‘Centres of Excellence’ to provide specialized
services and support to Ontarians with developmental needs, no matter where they live.
