Through it all, our <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><span style=\"color: #0c71c3;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/nrocrc.org\/about\/who-we-are\" style=\"color: #0c71c3; text-decoration: underline;\">Board of Directors<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/span><i>,<\/i> funders and collaborators have provided unwavering support that kept us energized as we continued to meet the growing community needs and demands for the quality, reliable programs our residents have come to trust. The resiliency, dedication and mutual support demonstrated by everyone within our organization and the communities we serve were of paramount importance to our growth throughout the year.<\/p>\n<p>Mental health and addictions, food and income insecurity, and social isolation were among the many issues that were heightened during this time. Like so many other community and social service organizations, we were in a constant state of adaptation to meet with public health and safety protocols, while maintaining the ongoing delivery of virtual and in-person programs and services to support the increased needs of residents of the vast urban, suburban and rural catchment of Nepean, Rideau and Osgoode.<\/p>\n<p>There were many memorable aspects of our work deserving of mention over this past year. We delivered numerous quality virtual programs to families and individuals of all ages including the <i>Young at Heart<\/i> and other programs for 55+ adults, along with the <i>Never Alone<\/i> and other youth programs that provided a wide array of physical, educational, and mental health supports. Our <i>EarlyOn<\/i> program for families with children from birth to six years old was one of the few services we were able to offer as in-person, outdoor activities throughout the year. We also continued to make every effort to deliver such critical in-person services as food and crisis support programs in order to address the growing needs and hardships felt by community residents.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>During this most challenging time, we were able to make some programs more accessible to residents, reducing social isolation and fostering the improved health and well-being of all members of our community.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>We were able to meet people\u2019s increased needs through the additional opportunities and resources received from our funders that helped us tap into various levels of government, as well as the creative and dedicated connections we forged with many partners. Details of our program and service highlights as well as our specific funders, donors\/sponsors, and partners can be found throughout our online report.<\/p>\n<p>The unprecedented situation we all found ourselves in this past year also required us to pivot our key outreach, community development and health promotion strategies within our catchment area. This included strengthening our partnerships with other area organizations and Ottawa Public Health in order to ensure the timely and accurate delivery of information about the pandemic to our diverse communities. Our staff was also engaged in significant planning and neighbourhood interactions to support numerous pop-up COVID-19 testing and vaccination sites. The time and dedication this took from our front-line staff was commendable and demonstrated, once again, yet another reason to be proud and grateful for the tireless work of our staff, volunteers, and partnership organizations. We most certainly have all made a difference together.<\/p>\n<p>Moving forward, we are excited to be completing a new Strategic Plan for the next three years and we look forward to implementing its objectives. We are proud of our ability to remain nimble and adapt our supports to address community health concerns, while meeting growing service demands as they arise. If anything, the pandemic has only further demonstrated how the health and well-being of racialized and marginalized populations are disproportionality affected in such a crisis, and we recognize the important work still left to be done to address systemic inequalities. We are committed to our ongoing work with the most impacted communities and to making tangible progress with the support of all our compassionate partners and supporters.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;1_4,1_4,1_4,1_4&#8243;

These past two weeks have been a game changer for the girls!!! I have to work during the week but I can&#8217;t afford any supplementary child care or day camps, so the girls were getting pretty bored&#8230; It was so fantastic!!! May you please make sure to forward my gratitude to all who organize and put this on for the community!!! It means the world to us!! And the girls. Oh, they had so much fun. Also make sure that (the counsellors) know that the girls (and therefore me) think they did a great job&#8230;<br \/><\/em>(Summer Camp Programming)<em><br \/><\/em><\/p>[\/et_pb_testimonial][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.6.6&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.6.6&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221;][et_pb_button button_url=&#8221;https:\/\/www.canadahelps.org\/en\/charities\/nepean-community-support-services-inc\/#donate-now-pane&#8221; button_text=&#8221;Donate Now \ud83d\udc9d&#8221; button_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.6.6&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_button=&#8221;on&#8221; button_text_size=&#8221;28px&#8221; button_bg_color=&#8221;#0da0c5&#8243; button_border_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; button_font=&#8221;|800|||||||&#8221; background_layout=&#8221;dark&#8221;][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.6.6&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color=&#8221;#253938&#8243;][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.6.6&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.6.6&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221;][et_pb_social_media_follow _builder_version=&#8221;4.6.6&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221;][et_pb_social_media_follow_network social_network=&#8221;facebook&#8221; url=&#8221;https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/NROCRC\/&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.6.6&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color=&#8221;#3b5998&#8243; follow_button=&#8221;off&#8221; url_new_window=&#8221;on&#8221;]facebook[\/et_pb_social_media_follow_network][et_pb_social_media_follow_network social_network=&#8221;twitter&#8221; url=&#8221;https:\/\/twitter.com\/NROCRC&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.6.6&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color=&#8221;#00aced&#8221; follow_button=&#8221;off&#8221; url_new_window=&#8221;on&#8221;]twitter[\/et_pb_social_media_follow_network][et_pb_social_media_follow_network social_network=&#8221;instagram&#8221; url=&#8221;https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/nrocrc\/&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.6.6&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color=&#8221;#ea2c59&#8243; follow_button=&#8221;off&#8221; url_new_window=&#8221;on&#8221;]instagram[\/et_pb_social_media_follow_network][\/et_pb_social_media_follow][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-316","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nrocrc.org\/annual-report\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/316","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nrocrc.org\/annual-report\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nrocrc.org\/annual-report\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nrocrc.org\/annual-report\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nrocrc.org\/annual-report\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=316"}],"version-history":[{"count":103,"href":"https:\/\/nrocrc.org\/annual-report\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/316\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":664,"href":"https:\/\/nrocrc.org\/annual-report\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/316\/revisions\/664"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nrocrc.org\/annual-report\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=316"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
