Alliance
Co-Chairs
This year's annual meeting marked the end
of Co-Chair Bruce Ferguson's
tenure as Co-Chair of the SLA (2001-2005). Bruce will continue to support
the SLA by serving as a member of the steering committee. We thank Bruce
for his hard work and dedication to the work of the SLA and for his pivotal
role in maintaining the Alliance as a vital organization following the
major change in leadership that took place four years ago.
Long-time steering committee member Graham
Clyne will now become Co-Chair, alongside returning Chair
Celia Denov who enters
into the fifth year of her term.
New Member
The SLA welcomes its newest member Adelina
Urbanski, the Commissioner of Social & Community Services
Department for the Regional Municipality of Halton.
Goodbye, Marvin!
We also bid a fond farewell to Marvin
Berstein (also a member of the Children in Limbo Task
Force) who will be leaving us this fall to take on the position of the
Child & Youth Advocate for the Province of Saskatchewan. |
