It is important that government, employers and unions come together to seek solutions that will improve services and support workers to stay in the field.
We urge the government to recognize that additional educational and training opportunities will not have a significant impact unless workers are competitively compensated and supported to make developmental services a career choice.
Today we take the time to thank and recognize the difference that workers make in the lives of those with developmental disabilities. You provide the bridge to social inclusion to people who you support across this province and we thank you.
