Every year Silent Voice hosts its Annual General Meeting (AGM). This year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we have applied to Corporations Canada to postpone our meeting. Our application was approved. At this time we have not set a new date; however, we will let you know.

In its place, we will be posting our Annual Report. The Annual Report will reflect our fiscal year 2019. It seems strange to focus at this time on 2019 as so much has happened in 2020: COVID-19, staying at home, working from home, services provided remotely; it has had a global impact.

The Annual Report will include: the message from the Board Chair, message from me the Executive Director, our audited and approved financial statements, and more.

Our AGM will be postponed and we will announce the new date. And very shortly we will post our Annual Report in both English and ASL.

As you all know, the Premier of Ontario has announced that we will be focusing on first stage of the gradual opening of businesses and services throughout the province, as long as they could meet public health and safety requirements.

As part of stage 1, Silent Voice Canada is proud to be part of several network with partners in the social services, health and community sectors who are dedicated to supporting our clients. Together, we are exploring different avenues to ensure that resuming in-person services will meet public health and safety requirements of our staff and clients. We are looking at our city, provincial and federal governments’ public health authorities to ensure that we are meeting their recommended guidelines. This includes considerations related to our physical space, cleaning and personal protective equipment (PPE). At this time, the government is encouraging us to continue virtual and alternative service models, where appropriate.

We are still OPEN online! If you have any questions about services and support, please feel free to contact us at silent.voice@silentvoice.ca.  We would be happy to answer your questions or direct you to appropriate community resources.

Again, we would like to remind you all to stay home and practice social distancing!

Thank you for your support and patience as we navigate through this pandemic together.
