If so, consider joining our Family Engagement Council (FEC). This volunteer group is comprised of parents/caregivers of children and youth special needs who have accessed or currently access CTN supports, frontline service providers and CTN staff. The FEC advises on and supports CTN’s operational activities (events, communications, programs, services, etc.). The FEC also plays a key role in ensuring CTN is connected with the family perspective and helps us continue to move forward in the work that supports the needs of the families we work with. Joining the FEC will give you opportunity to make a difference for families like yours across York Region and Simcoe County. It’s also a great place to use your personal or professional experience (both are equally valued!) to make an impact and build your skills. FEC members often have opportunities to attend and participate in presentations, workshops, conferences and events. Wondering what kind of difference our FEC makes?
