Sixth Annual Worker Appreciation Day, January 19, 2012
Make it Happen in your Local!
January 10, 2012
Our Sixth Annual Worker
Appreciation Day marks a critical time for developmental
services. This year, our sector poster highlights the need to
“Stand-up for Developmental Services” at a time when we face the
threat of serious cuts in 2012.
The McGuinty government’s Commission on the
Reform of Public Services in Ontario, headed by Don Drummond
former senior vice president for the TD Bank, is looking to
recommend widespread cuts that will hit social services
particularly hard. The Drummond Commission is operating in
secrecy, avoiding the questions of inequality, the impact of
privatization of public services, and ignoring the question of
how to generate funding to pay for public services.

Workers call for solidarity on 6th annual Developmental Services Worker Appreciation Day
November 29,
2011 Thousands of developmental services workers across
Ontario will be recognized for the important work that they
do in our communities on January 19, 2012.
From teaching to caring, counselling, training and
assisting with daily living needs, these multi-skilled
professionals deliver key services to some of the most
vulnerable people in the province.
Join us in solidarity as we celebrate everything that
developmental services means to Ontario.

Annual Developmental Services: Worker Appreciation Day
Highlighting the need for ‘decent jobs’, this year’s
Worker Appreciation Day poster is also a reminder that
most Developmental Services workers are women, and that
many of us work part-time without access to pension or
benefits. This is, however, our career of choice, and we
do believe that decent jobs are possible!
On January 19, 2011, join the
province-wide celebrations to recognize the work that we do.
We celebrate the dedicated, skilled workers who support
people with disabilities across the province.
