St. Stephen’s Community House is delighted to announce we, in partnership with St. Michael’s Hospital, will be opening a new Counselling Centre at 340 College Street, Ste 108. St. Stephen’s currently offer extensive programming for seniors in Ste 360 and English language classes for new immigrants in Ste 502 in the building.
We are very excited at this opportunity to expand our services to vulnerable people in the Kensington Community. The new centre will be located on the ground floor, suite 108, by appointment only, and is expected to open in January.

The Board of Directors and our Strategic Planning Steering Committee are pleased to announce that the House is embarking on a new process of Strategic Planning this year.

We will be talking with our volunteers, our staff, our service users, and our friends and colleagues in the community throughout the winter, leading to a new strategic plan in April 2012. We will be communicating with you shortly about your opportunities to provide information and feedback.

We are also pleased to introduce our Strategic Planning consultants, Paul Dowling and Alison Kooistra of Paul Dowling Consulting. Paul Dowling Consulting is a highly experienced consulting firm with extensive experience working with non-profit organizations that serve people who are marginalized by poverty and other life challenges. Helping service recipients to have a real voice in the decisions that affect them is both their work and something that they strongly believe in. They are a great fit for St. Stephen’s Community House. Please give them your full cooperation.

As we approach our 50th year as a neighbourhood house serving residents of west downtown Toronto, we are excited to be planning together for our future. If you have any questions, please contact us at sbill@ststephenshouse.com.

By Ann Mitchell, President, Board of Directors St. Stephen’s Community House

On behalf of the Board of Directors, I am writing to let you know that our Executive Director, Liane Regendanz, will be on a medical leave until April 2012. During Liane’s absence, Bill Sinclair, our Associate Executive Director, will assume the role of Interim Executive Director. Bill has more than 11 years with SSCH as Program Director, Assistant Executive Director, and Associate Executive Director. He is well known and well respected by St. Stephen’s key community partners, funders and other stakeholders. Bill has the full support and confidence of the Board of Directors and Liane in taking on this role during what will no doubt be a busy and challenging time.

Bill will continue with many of his current responsibilities as AED, while also assuming the key responsibilities of Executive Director. Additional resources will be brought in as needed and the Board of Directors will be active in supporting Bill and our very capable and experienced senior management team during this time.
We look forward to our continued work with you and thank you for your ongoing support.

Should you have any questions or concerns, please contact Bill at sbill@ststephenshouse.com 416-925-2103 ext. 241 or admin@ststephenshouse.com.
