Thank you to MP Kathy Borrelli for taking the time to visit the John McGivney Children’s Centre.

We're grateful for the opportunity to share the breadth of services and supports we provide to children, youth, and families across Windsor-Essex, and to speak about the evolving needs we are seeing in our community.

We look forward to continuing the conversation, strengthening partnerships, and working together to ensure families across our region have access to the care and resources they need, now and into the future.
