Agreement ratified at John McGivney Children's Centre

The John McGivney Children's Centre says a tentative agreement with workers represented by the Ontario Public Service Employees Union Local 170 has been fully ratified.

The agreement, reached on November 12, ended a labour dispute that threatened to disrupt services for families in the region with children with physical and mental disabilities.

"The agreement reflects the shared commitment of all parties to work collaboratively in support of the children, youth, and families we serve," said a statement from the centre. "We look forward to continuing our important work together."

The centre said the agreement will provide families with stability.

"JMCC extends sincere appreciation for our families, community partners, and supporters for their patience and encouragement during this period," continued the statement. "Your continued trust and partnership play a vital role in helping us fulfill our mission of enriching the lives of children and youth with disabilities."
