It is the time to change ODSP is NOW! Are you on ODSP? Are you related to or a friend of an ODSP recipient? Do you work with people on ODSP? The ODSP Durham Region Coalition is collecting personal stories from people about the challenges of living on ODSP.We will use these stories to:
  1. Lobby elected official to improve the ODSP system and make it a more humane, accessible and generous one;
  2. Get media attention on ODSP issues;
  3. Educate the general public about the challenges faced by people on ODSP.

Please use the attached questionnaire to tell your story; information is given on where to send it. Organizations who work with people on ODSP are asked to encourage and provide help, if needed, to their clients to write and send in their stories. I want to gather as many stories as possible by our deadline of MARCH 15, 2010.
