The Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre (WOCRC) invites you to participate in a focus group consultation for parents/caregivers or in a one to one conversation, at the West Carleton Community Complex at 5670 Carp Road in Kinburn. WOCRC is conducting a Community Needs Assessment that will be focused on children, youth, young adults and families.

We are offering a session on the following evenings:

Why are we doing this?  We believe that children, youth, young adults and families can benefit by services that assist in helping children, youth, young adults and families to reach their optimal wellbeing.  We want to better understand the strengths of the services that exist in West Carleton and where there are opportunities to improve service delivery moving forward.And nobody knows what makes sense more than you do. We want to hear your thoughts. What’s working? What’s not? And how can we improve things in West Carleton?

By participating in this focus group consultation, you’re helping to shape how child, youth, young adults and family services are delivered in West Carleton. As a parent or caregiver living in West Carleton your experiences are extremely valuable in helping us identify our priorities and opportunities.

We encourage you to consider registering for one of the focus groups or one to one interviews.

This is a huge undertaking and we need the support of the community to assist in this process. If you are unable to attend a focus group or one to one interview, we encourage you to consider completing this online survey here:
