Our Mission Birchmount Bluffs Neighbourhood Centre works with diverse individuals, families and communities to overcome barriers and enhance quality of life. We do this by fostering social inclusion, developing skills and abilities, and collaborating with our partners to facilitate access to a range of flexible and responsive programs and services. Our Vision We envision a strong and inclusive neighbourhood in which community members fully participate in opportunities that enhance well-being for all. Our Values We define these values as follows: Respect: We believe that every person has the right to be met with compassion, accepted in a non-judgmental way, and treated with respect and dignity. Diversity: We embrace diversity in all of its forms, in our clients, agency and community, and support non-discriminatory policies and practices. Inclusivity: We actively seek ways to welcome all members of our community and ensure they have the opportunity to participate in meaningful ways. Building Capacity: We nurture the development of individual and community capacity by offering programs and services that enhance independence and build upon abilities. Equitable Access: We commit to removing barriers that restrict individuals and groups from accessing services and participating in our programs. Collaboration: We believe that each of us is enriched when we are able to work collaboratively with one another to share experiences, perspectives, information, knowledge and supports. Integrity: We employ honesty and ethical decision-making practices in all that we do. Accountability: We recognize that our community has entrusted us with an important responsibility, so we take care to be responsible and accountable for the management of our agency within available resources.
