WOODGREEN BOARD OF DIRECTORS

President & Board Chair Message: Taking Care of Our Neighbours

We started off as an East-end neighbourhood

centre over 65 years ago and while our mission

has not changed, the breadth of our services and

the way we deliver them has evolved dramatically.

From one location at 835 Queen Street, we have

grown to 15 locations and more than 100 partners

that we collaborate with to meet the growing

needs of our clients – individuals and families

who often lack access to the essentials of life.

Our goal is to provide “total solutions” to the

challenges our clients are facing which means

helping them access the many supports they need

– whether these include housing, child care,

employment training, help with a developmentally

challenged child or care and support right in their

home. We do this by linking many of our own

services and through innovative collaborations

with our many partners.

Take our Homeward Bound project for

example, scheduled to be unveiled in

Spring 2004. This new housing devel-

opment will provide women in the

shelter system with their own apart-

ments, child care and employment

training, so that they can become

more self-sufficient.

Through WoodGreen’s immigrant services we

address the many barriers that newcomers face

in coming to Canada, including providing

them with ESL classes, and helping them find

housing, child care and employment.

We even help immigrants work through

accreditation issues through partnership

initiatives like the Care for Nurses program.

Funded by the Ministry of Training, Colleges

and Universities and developed in conjunction

with St. Michael’s Hospital, Yee Hong Centre

for Geriatric Care, and Kababayan Community

Centre, the program works to get nurses that

have been trained in foreign countries through

the Ontario accreditation process and employed

more quickly. To date hundreds of nurses have

been trained through this program.

Providing total solutions to our clients also

means making our services accessible and, in

many cases, bringing services right to the

people who need them. That’s why we located

our Youth Job Centre at Danforth and

Donlands – right in the heart of a number

of high schools and easily accessible by TTC.

Last year alone we had more then 10,000 visits

to the Job Centre. Another way we will be

doing this is through a new multi-story

building that will provide housing and

supports to frail seniors, so they can access

Last year we helped more than 37,000 individuals and families through

15 locations and over 100 partners across Toronto.

everything they need in one location on the

former Wellesley Hospital site.

We also look to our clients to tell us what

they really need. Through our neighbourhood

programs, WoodGreen works to bring much-

needed resources to communities in the East

end. In partnership with the East York Rotary

Club, our newest project is in the Donlands

and Cosburn area where we will soon be

providing after-school programs, parent/child

drop-ins and more.

In many ways, WoodGreen is still the

neighbourhood centre it once was. Our

neighbourhood has really branched out and our

clients’ needs are much more diverse than ever

before. But we’re still doing what we’ve always

done best – taking care of our neighbours.

A Year of Accomplishments

Homelessness & Housing Help ServicesWoodGreen continues to work diligently to reduce

homelessness in the city, connecting individuals

and families with the information and resources

needed to access affordable housing. Last year, we

provided support to over 4,000 people in the form

of information on available housing, access

to interest-free loans, eviction prevention,

emergency relocation services, harm reduction

programs and more.

Some of the specific projects we undertook in 2002/2003 include:• assisting 114 homeless individuals, who were

living on the parcel of land at the bottom of

Cherry Street (“Tent City”), to make the

transition from living on the streets to stable,

long-term housing – through a joint initiative

made possible by the support of the Toronto

Community Housing Corporation, the City of

Toronto, WoodGreen and Toronto Disaster

Relief Committee

• holding our first community forum on harm

reduction, which provided much-needed

public information about the philosophy

of harm reduction and the critical role of

housing in the lives of active users

HousingWoodGreen manages five non-profit, affordable

housing locations for people in east Toronto.

Our tenants are people with low incomes,

including youth aged 16 and up, seniors,

newcomers, people with disabilities, survivors

of the psychiatric system, and people who have

a long history of homelessness. Last year, we

At WoodGreen, we believe that there are certain essentials in life that everyone

should have access to, including affordable housing, regular employment, quality

child care, supportive communities and the ability to live independently. Last year,

we helped more than 37,000 individuals and families through our many programs

and locations around the city.

provided affordable housing support

to 452 households.

Employment ServicesWoodGreen provides employment support

and job training programs to youth and adults

seeking jobs. Last year alone, we helped more

than 14,000 individuals through our comprehen-

sive employment services. WoodGreen’s Youth

Job Centre and Employment Resource Centre

provide a self-help resource environment with

tools and support to job seekers, including

technology support, employment workshops,

hands-on training, and up-to-date employment

information. Job seekers can get one-on-one or

group assistance with job searches, resume

development and interview techniques from the

employment consultants at our Job Search

Coaching Centre, Job Search Workshop Program

for Newcomers, and the Youth Job Centre. The

Youth Job Centre also offers specialized job search

support and placements for youth who are seeking

both full-time employment and summer jobs.

Some of the ways we continue toexpand our offerings to clients include:• introducing new workshops for foreign-

trained professionals, and hands-on computer-

based workshops such as “how to post a

resume online”

• initiating many successful events with employer

and business groups such as Desjardins

Financial, Deloitte Consulting, Canadian

Business Resource Centre and Unilever, to help

our clients better understand the workplace

culture, how companies recruit, and the types

of jobs available in the various sectors

• combining one-on-one coaching with group

networking sessions so that job seekers can

share their job search ideas, failures and

successes with others in a similar situation

• offering both day and evening programs to

ensure that newcomers can access our

employment services, including those who

work in survival jobs at odd times or have

childcare responsibilities

• hosting quarterly events, where clients were

reunited to share their experiences, successes,

and offered tips to those who are still looking

for work

• strengthening our partnership with local

high schools, industry groups, individual

employers, the Apprenticeship Branch and

training providers to provide apprenticeship

placements to students in a variety of areas

including electrical, plumbing, automobile,

machining, landscaping, cabinet making and

hair dressing

Child Care ServicesLast year, WoodGreen’s child care services

provided high-quality, licensed child care, and

nursery school and summer camp programs to

nearly 500 children and their families. The

goal of WoodGreen’s

programs, for

children ages

0-12, is to provide

an enriching learning

experience within a

happy, caringand

stimulating environment.

A Year of Accomplishments continued

WoodGreen is also proud to be part of an

exciting, innovative project aimed at creating

a seamless school and childcare program. The

Bruce/WoodGreen Early Learning Centre, is

one of five Toronto First Duty Projects which

aim to integrate kindergarten, child care and

parenting supports into one comprehensive

early years program. Developed in partnership

with the Toronto District School Board, the City

of Toronto and the Atkinson Foundation, the

Bruce/WoodGreen Early Learning Centre is

creating a model for the future of early learning,

where schooling and child care are more unified

in their goal of helping children develop to

their fullest potential.

Community Care & Wellness for SeniorsWoodGreen provides a comprehensive range of

essential services to seniors to help them live

independently within the community. Last year

over 6000 seniors and caregivers benefited from

our services, which include supportive housing,

meal and nutrition programs, day programs,

transportation, social work, home visits and

more. Many of the seniors we support are frail

elderly people with disabilities or debilitating

diseases who could not live on their own

without WoodGreen’s help.

Other ways we helped seniors over the past year include:• providing continued services to vulnerable

seniors throughout the SARS outbreak

• educating Mandarin seniors about elder

abuse and how to prevent it through the

launch of WoodGreen’s Harmony program

• furthering our partnership with Bridgepoint

Health to better integrate services for seniors

in our community

• working closely with the Silos to Solutions

community partners to look at ways of

providing more coordinated solutions to

the health challenges faced by people living

in South East Toronto

• increasing the number of frail seniors who

can remain in the community under the

care and support offered at our supportive

housing clusters

• continuing to provide personal support

and homemaking through the Toronto

Homemaking Services contract with the

Toronto Community Care Access Centre

Immigrant ServicesWoodGreen provides a range of services and

supports to Toronto immigrants to help them

adjust to their new lives in Canada. Last year,

we helped nearly 12,000 newcomers, improve

their English language and literacy skills,

access affordable housing, upgrade their job

skills and find employment, and connect with

other immigrants through various social and

recreational activities.

We are particularly proud of the following accomplishments:• providing hundreds of newcomers with

an opportunity to gain work experience

as volunteers in the community and

WoodGreen’s many programs

• recruiting dedicated community members

to volunteer in WoodGreen’s ESL Café to

facilitate an English conversation forum

with newcomers

• developing a successful Peer Learning Group

where a newcomer is trained and assigned a

lead role to facilitate a settlement discussion

with other newcomers in a group

• doubling the number of new immigrants

who participate in our social and networking

activities where they can connect with others

and begin adjusting to their new environment

Mental Health & Developmental ServicesWoodGreen provides a full range of services to

parents with children who have developmental

challenges, and to adults who are developmentally

challenged, socially isolated or have a history

of mental health issues to enable them to live

independently within the community.

Last year, we provided over 600 individuals and

their families with case management support,

mental health counselling, psychosocial

recreational groups, parent outreach programs

and housing. These programs have recently

found a new home at WoodGreen, in their very

own unit, Mental Health and Developmental

Services and we are excited about the future.

Some of our innovative initiatives include:• managing a unique housing program for

individuals with serious mental illness (SMI)

in which a group of men and women, who

were formerly homeless or at high risk of

Neighbourhood ProgramsBuilding on our roots of being a neighbourhood

community centre, WoodGreen continues to

branch out to provide neighbourhood programs

to communities in east Toronto. Designed to

promote community participation and build

healthier neighbourhoods, WoodGreen’s

neighbourhood programs include after school

clubs, school readiness programs, summer

camps, piano lessons, community kitchens,

parenting workshops, family support groups,

community trips, and youth leadership and anti-

violence initiatives. Last year more than 1,300

people of all ages participated in our programs.

Some of the new initiatives we introduced in 2002/2003 include:• launching an innovative intervention

project called "Kids Keeping It Together"

that combines individual counselling,

community development, and leadership

training to work with youth, aged 12-15, who

have witnessed violence at home or at school

• partnering with 4 other agencies across

Toronto to launch a new school readiness

program called “Ready 4 School” that

focuses on preparing newcomer children

for kindergarten

• training more than 30 youth, aged 10-15,

to deliver Heart Healthy information to

summer camps, their peers, and their families

throughout the community, in conjunction

with Toronto Heart Health

Last year alone, more than 900 volunteers

committed a total of 60,127 hours to supporting

special events, sitting on leadership committees,

driving around the city delivering meals to seniors,

tutoring children in after-school programs,

sorting mail, assisting with day programs for

newcomers and much, much more.

Some of WoodGreen’s programs and events

literally could not even exist without the

dedication of volunteers, including the

following initiatives:

• Mail delivery between our 12 different locations

• 1,368 piano lessons that children of various

ages received through our neighbourhood

programs last year

• 22,782 meals that were delivered to seniors’

homes and the close to 3,000 friendly visits

that were made to the homes of those who

are isolated and frail

• The annual Woods and Greens Golf

Tournament organized by volunteers

• Participation in the Taste of the Danforth

event, where WoodGreen partnered with the

fire department to raise funds and to raise

awareness of our various programs

• WoodGreen is also proud to have a number of

corporate volunteer partnerships with companies

like Sears, Deloitte Consulting, Desjardins

Financial, Canadian Tire, Unilever, Korex Don

Valley and Morrison Health Care Food Services.

Last year employees from these corporations

and representatives from our service partners

– the Toronto East Rotary Club and the East

York Rotary Club – volunteered more than

1,800 hours to WoodGreen.
