Self-Advocates Council Listings Chairperson Nelson Raposo Board Representative Sam McKhail Treasurer Peter Marrese Secretary Robert Shaddock Members Paul Cochrane Candice Doherty Nick Lappis Donna McCormick Astra Milberg Mark Miller Mike Murray Rhea Park Jim Slaven Volunteers Robbie Cowdrey Paul Cohen Jose Escobar Community Living Ontario Representative Peter Marrese What’s New With Self-Advocates Council Self-Advocates Council (SAC) is happy to welcome back Sue Hutton from her education leave this month. Sue was greatly missed for the three months that she was away. Although the SAC continued to meet, a number of projects were put on hold. Now that Sue is back, everyone on Council is raring to go. SAC’s Health and Safety group started up again in February with a new group of nursing students. Donna and Rhea have been meeting weekly with nursing students, Julie and Maurice, and Kim, who is Rhea’s support staff. This time around, they have been developing a presentation about the impact that relationships have on health. If you’re interested in attending, check out the notice at bottom of the page. Self-Advocates Council has also been working on the next steps for the Bill of Rights. A fan page was created on Facebook and friends of Self-Advocates Connect were invited to become fans. So far, over 150 people have become fans of the Bill of Rights page. Also, part of the next steps is for SAC to collect stories that illustrate each of the ten rights. Stories will be written in plain language and recorded as sound files to be used on the ConnectAbility website, Facebook and in other media. At the end of March, SAC said goodbye to Amanda Amorim, a B.S.W. student, who has been providing support to the SAC since September. As part of her placement, Amanda created a communication workshop. A number of Self-Advocates attended the weekly sessions at Foster Clubhouse along with individuals who frequent the Fosters’ drop-in. At the March SAC meeting, United Way were in attendance to film Sam McKhail presenting his report from the Board. The film will be used as part of the United Way's Speaker's Bureau.
