Exciting times are ahead at Empower Simcoe!
We’re beginning our re-accreditation journey with the Council on Quality and Leadership (CQL)—a vital process that takes place every four years to ensure our agency continues providing the highest quality supports and services to the people we serve.
This isn’t just about reviewing policies and procedures. It’s a celebration of our teams’ everyday efforts, a chance to reflect on our strengths, and an opportunity to grow even stronger together.
