It has been a busy and exciting year for the Child Development Services Team.
As a team, we have had many wonderful opportunities to engage with children and families in a variety of environments, including home and center visits, preschool attendance, groups, and our Child Development Fairs. Our team is committed to staying informed of best practices and engaging in professional development opportunities. This year many of our team members completed a 15-part infant mental health training series offered by Infant Mental Health Promotion and the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto. In addition, our Occupational Therapist accessed specialized training in feeding, our Infant Development Consultant completed training in infant massage, our Physiotherapist attended training to support sensory integration and movement, and our FASD Keyworker attended the International FASD Conference in Vancouver. Over the past year we offered various groups which provide peer-based social opportunities while targeting specific developmental skillsets. The Infant Development Program hosted several 8-week sessions of languagefocused Parent and Tot Groups, in addition to a 5-week infant massage class. The Supported Child Development Team offered an ongoing preschool readiness group for children who needed a little extra time to practice the skills required for preschool, [2]

BOARD OF DIRECTORS
“The merger between SOURCES and the Family Resource Association (FRA) is one that was destined to be. As President of the FRA for several years, I recall that our board kept hearing, from time to time, that SOURCES was such a great organization. We thought ours was pretty great as well, so when our CEO Deborah Joyce announced her retirement, we looked at all the options for successorship but kept coming back to the idea of a merger with SOURCES. The CEO and I spent a full day, at David Young’s invitation, touring and meeting a lot of committed, dedicated employees of SOURCES who were very passionate about the kind of work they do and how they do it. Our board got very serious about the merger and the decision was made to do our part to make it happen. The FRA is satisfied in every respect that the right decision was made and we now look forward to all the successes we will experience as we move forward with purpose.” [TOM DAVIES]
