They had their own café & bakery where the students could be more supported at the start before moving on to placements & employment in the community. Sadly their council funding was withdrawn last year & the project folded after many years & many successful trainees. So short sighted of the councilHelennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35743239.post-30467101325765165532015-09-10T11:08:27.248-04:002015-09-10T11:08:27.248-04:00The energy of new beginnings is wonderful...and a ...The energy of new beginnings is wonderful...and a lovely synchronicity for you to get to observe this moment of transition for a young woman who has this opportunity largely due to the work that you and Irene and others are doing.

I know how this vision has gripped Irene and her drive and determination to make it a reality. She isn't stopping with Humber College either, but has a wider vision that every college will embrace this need and right for people with intellectual disabilities to have post secondary education and build real skills for real jobs. Yes, congratulations to Irene and to Christian Horizons as well as Humber College, for paving the way to a greater future for people with intellectual disabilities!!Belindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09251920708783268740noreply@blogger.com
