Yesterday evening, Empower Simcoe learned one of our valued employees and two individuals who receive supports were injured in a serious motor vehicle accident and were airlifted to the hospital. Currently, all 3 people are receiving the medical treatment needed. We are providing supports to the families and remaining closely connected to them during this trying time.
