Overview

 

The intent of the Meta Centre and EOH Meta Foundation is to help children and adults with developmental disabilities by providing services tailored to meet individual needs and choices.

We also provide services to children and adults who have a dual diagnosis (a developmental and mental health issue) and/or those who have multiple disabilities. Individuality is respected as we strive to provide an environment that maximizes their decision-making and respects their ethnicity.

 

Mission Statement

 

The Meta Centre believes all individuals have the right to live, work and enjoy recreational activities in their own community.

 

History

 

The Meta Centre was founded in 1986 by the Ethnic Organization for the Handicapped (EOH). The EOH continues to act as the fundraising Board of the Meta Centre. The Meta Centre and its programs have been continuously changing to reflect choices made by consumers. We uphold their right to change choices depending on their needs at any given time. Since its inception, the E.O.H. and the Meta Centre have continuously provided services to the various ethnic communities of Toronto.

 

 

 

 

Uniqueness

 

 

The Meta Centre serves Metro Toronto's diverse ethnocultural communities. We have language capabilities in Italian, West Indian, Greek, Vietnamese, Chinese, French, Ukrainian, Spanish and East Indian. Indeed, when the E.O.H. first became a non-profit organization in 1978, the fundamental goal was the integration and inclusion of people with developmental disabilities into Canadian society regardless of ethnocultural backgrounds or developmental abilities while respecting individual choice, customs and heritage.

This goal continues today.
