A Word from Wendy
Without doubt, this year has
been our most challenging on
so many levels!
In support of our Chairperson, Sue
Chapman’s wise words we agree
that COVID-19 has changed our lives
forever. While we do not know what
the long-term effects will be, we
remain committed to safeguarding
our community on every level as we
navigate towards a brighter future.
I think it’s fair to say that COVID has
caused many of us to reflect on what
is important in life. On a personal
note, I feel there is no more noble a
calling than to support people with
disabilities through challenging times
like these. One of the best parts
of my role has been receiving kind
feedback from individuals, families,
and staff grateful for our efforts to
keep them and their loved ones safe.
To our front line support workers
we salute you!
Throughout the peak of the
pandemic, we maintained contact
with all homes and services via
doorstep catch-ups, zoom meetings,
and constant interactions to ensure
people did not feel alone. In addition,
we received unwavering support
from our Chairperson, Committee
Convenors and Board of Directors.
We wish to acknowledge and thank
them for their selfless dedication to
the EBL community.
We are forever grateful.
Wendy Warren
Chief Executive
EBL Disability Services
We are reminded that we are all in
this together. And feeling blessed
to work alongside many wonderful
people who put their own fears aside
to support our participants needs
above their own. We observed many
acts of kindness throughout the peak
of the pandemic and continue to be
humbled by our team’s commitment
and care for others. Over the past 3
months, they have done this in ways
that no one else can.
