It’s A Day of Inspiration here at 94.1 myFM, presented by Doug Tarry Homes and Geerlinks Home Hardware & Building Centre.
Today, we are taking some time to highlight the amazing work Community Living does for residents of St. Thomas and Elgin.
For those not familiar, Community Living Elgin is a not-for-profit charitable organization that supports and advocates for the rights of adults with developmental disabilities and helps assist them to live independent lives.
For Ken Holland, his involvement with Community Living Elgin began early on in life when his little sister Mary first started attending programs.
It was a family affair really, with his fathers involvement dating back even further.
Community Living even brought about a Christmas tradition for their family.
And all these years later, Holland continues to see his sister thrive with the ongoing support of Community Living and the group of people she lives with.
Despite the independence the organization has given Mary, Holland still makes sure she gets out to do the things she loves.
He adds Mary is his go to source for information, as you will always find her face in a news paper.
