August 6, 2024
The Honourable Michael Parsa, Ontario Minister of Children, Community and Social Services, visited FST’s 355 Church Street location on Aug. 6 for an overview of agency initiatives and current reform efforts in the Developmental Services sector including its Journey to Belonging focus.
“It was a productive information session with the Minister and an opportunity for him to learn about initiatives such as our social purpose real estate and evolution of the Citywide Commons,” said Executive Director Chris Brillinger. “That’s a great story of Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) adaptation and innovation post pandemic. We also focussed on Passport, PassportONE and DS case management.”
In addition to Chris the meeting included Anna Zhang, Chief Administrative Officer; Leila Sarangi, Senior Director, Strategy and Innovation; and Brian Porter, Director of Communications and Special Projects.
