We were honoured to welcome Members of Provincial Parliament (MPP) to a number of Kerry’s Place homes and offices through the months of January & February. These visits provided an opportunity to highlight the barriers faced by Autistic people and their families as they seek critical Developmental Services that will enable them to flourish and be seen as full and equal members of their communities. We would like to thank the following MPPs for taking time to meet with us as we work together toward meaningful change.
