Our Vision: Waterloo Region is a community where everyone belongs – where we value meaningful relationships, honour choices and dreams, and celebrate the uniqueness of each person.Our Mission: Through meaningful relationships, we support you to build on your unique abilities, to create the life you want in the community.Our Values: Inclusion: Full involvement in community for all Choice: The opportunity to choose Respect: Mutual respect and kindness for all Full Citizenship: Valued membership of community Collaboration: We value partnership – working well together with others Relationships: Social networks and friendships are critical for healthy well being Uniqueness: The individuality of each personWhat We Do:Bridges to Belonging is based around our work as planners and facilitators. We support people with unique needs to create the life they want in the community. Since planning and facilitation is person-centred, our work looks a little different with each individual we serve. That means you won't find a rigid menu of programs and services. Instead, we work with individuals and families to build bridges to belonging in our community.Here are a few ways we do that: Through Person-Directed Planning and Facilitation, our core service Through the Independent Facilitation Demonstration Project, a provincial planning and facilitation initiative Through MAPS, PATHs, and graphic facilitation By developing the expertise of independent facilitators through the Facilitation Network of Waterloo RegionLearn more at www.bridgestobelonging.ca
