ThroughInterdepartmental Committees it is possible to co-ordinate services withingovernment and communities an to thereby allow the institutions tofunction as treatment and training centers and no longer to be identified aslong-term custodial hospitals. How successful the rehabilitation program willbe depends upon quality and number of community residences. The following report is based on returns to a questionnairesent to super- intendents in June, 1966 and from questioning Provincialrepresentatives at a recent CARC Board Meeting. CARCCommittee Chairmen try to keep informed on all phases of their work so that they caninform Provincial Chair- men about what is going on acrossthe Country. This isn't easy to do because there is a great variety of action in the ResidentialCare field and everyone is busy - but annual Association reports, institutionnewsletters, and newspaper clippings are most helpful, and would be appreciatedby the new Chairman - Mrs. H. H. Nicholson, Chairman, CARC Residential Care Committee, 103 Wilson Crescent, Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. The excitement of achievements past and future is hard toleave, especially when it has meant being able to talk to people right acrossthe Country - people who are dedicated and determined -Thanks for helping me over the past six years, Mrs. R. G. Anglin *************** Statement of Philosophy CARC Intensive Study Session on Residences - 1964 "We must not determine our future course on thevalues we held in the past, but on those which are now emerging.It is now widely realized that societycannot afford to pay full attention to matters concerning propertybut neglect, to any degree, those which concern persons. "We here must act on the assumption that onlystandards adequate to our purposes are acceptable,in the surebelief that society's values are changingand will eventually support our point of view.
