This group was initiated with the goal of providing opportunity for our community groups to meet on a regular basis to discuss the needs of our Town and coordinate their efforts to meet those needs, discuss innovative approaches to challenges they face, share resources and network with other like-minded individuals. The number of groups in attendance has grown and new partnerships have formed, mutual support and networking have taken place. We have found this group forum especially helpful in the dark days of the pandemic when many groups have displayed optimism and innovation in their approach to community service. We have seen great benefits in the networking events, now done virtually. Needs have been identified and we have seen great unity and increased service delivery even through the pandemic. One of the greatest challenges our community groups face is to continue to recruit, train and support the many volunteers needed to continue to reach the people we serve. As you can imagine, in these days of pandemic, all services are done safely, one-on-one and social distanced, which requires more and more volunteers to do the important work of care and compassion, social engagement and offering support of various kinds. One of the many challenges we also face is the great financial impact of the pandemic on community service organizations. Organizations are experiencing reduced revenue from the lack of ability to do large scale fundraising events which has impacted their overall budget and cash flow. As well, we see individuals serving who may have experienced impact from lost income creating a challenge with fees and expenses associated with volunteering their time. REQUEST: Many of the organizations participating in the ongoing conversations, the group we refer to as A.C.T. (Amherstburg Community Team) have put together request letters for your consideration which are attached to this report. It’s our hope that the Police Service Board will consider waiving the fees associated with vulnerable sector criminal record checks.
