Message from the Chair and Senior Manager

It is with great pride that the Action Centre presents its 2014 Annual

Activity Report. This report highlights the commitment and

dedication that our Staff and Team to deliver a complete range of

programmes, activities, services, workshops to the specific needs of

our members with severe physical and mild cognitive disabilities.

2014 was marked by full attendance, robust programmes and

enthusiastic participation from over 170 active members, yet over-

shadowed by a difficult financial climate. We have juggled many

necessary budget cuts in a challenging fundraising environment. We

continue to stay focused on our bottom line, while working to

maintain and deliver our full range of services and programmes.

With the full effort and support of our Management team, we

effectively implemented many corrective and cost saving measures

that, coupled with dynamic new funding initiatives, allowed us to

close the year successfully with a balanced budget. We feel this

difficult and challenging environment will continue in the years

ahead, yet remain vigilant and dedicated to running a lean

operation, so as to deliver the same level and quality of services we

have been known for since 1998.

We salute our many dedicated employees, teachers, volunteers,

Board Members, Community Partners and valued donors for their

generous contributions and unwavering support and commitment.

To each of you we say: THANK YOU!

Joanne Heward Chair, Board

Ilham Bouzouma Sr. Manager Centre

Action Centre

In Québec, more than

765,000 people suffer

from a disability,

(10.4% of the population.

(Source : OPHQ)

The Reality of Living with a Disability… Our Members are more than likely to be marginalized by the rest of society, habitually categorized as

« different ». This ‘marginalization’ often leads to isolation, lack of self-confidence, confidence in general and frustration – resulting in a high incidence of depression in this group.

With a declared interest in providing a different reality to people living with disabilities, the Action

Centre is dedicated to delivering enriching activities in a caring, respectful and humane environment.

In fulfilling our long standing mission, the Action Centre remains fully aligned with the United Nation’s values and actions as laid out in the

message of Ban Ki-Moon, UN Secretary General, in his 2012 speech for International Day of Disabled Persons:

We must remove any and all barriers that affect the inclusion and participation of disabled people in society, especially the necessary behavioural changes that will eliminate further

stigma and reduce institutionalized discrimination (...) This multi-dimensional exclusion represents a huge cost, not only to persons with disabilities

but to society as a whole. We are reminded each year that true development can only be sustainable when it is equitable, inclusive and accessible for all,

Ban Ki-Moon, Secretary General, United Nations International Day of Persons with Disabilities


Action Centre

The Action Centre is designed to fill a indispensable role in the lives of our members. We are viewed throughout the island an extension to Montreal’s

bilingual essential services by providing

much needed assistance and quantifiable

cost avoidance to all levels of

government, and the overburdened social services and health care networks.

Mission, Vision and Services

The Action Centre is a unique, caring, bilingual day centre for over 170 people with disabilities, many of whom live below the poverty line. Open from Monday to Friday, nearly 60 members visit each day. The Centre seeks to deliver a wide range of services and activities that meet the needs of our diverse membership. With an experienced and dedicated team of staff and volunteers, we work hard to cater to all needs. We provide as personalized a service as possible, creating a comfortable and compassionate environment, allowing our members a safe haven and

reliable «home away from home».

« Chez-soi ».

We provide a refuge of hope, mental and physical stimulation, education and acceptance. We watch as our members thrive in a milieu that promotes self esteem, personal growth,

self confidence, independence and well-being. .

Brief History

The Centre was founded in 1998 by five people, three of whom are still active. Co-Founders Maria Mustillo, Claude Sabbah and Daniel Jarry continue to work full-time.

“Back then, when a disabled person completed their rehab, there was nowhere to go. That's why I felt it was so important to help co-found this organization.”Daniel J.


Action Centre

Physical exercise and stimulation works the heart,

muscles, and helps move more oxygen to the brain.

Members have the opportunity to be more active

during these periods, movin’ and groovin as they wish,

as they don’t have enough such opportunity otherwise.

.

Educational Program

The Action Centre offers its members a wide range of workshops and activities designed to

meet their needs and contribute to their development.

These courses are evolving constantly, as determined through careful and thoughtful

observation and via regular input from those attending and participating.

Members can choose from 24 different weekly activities and workshops, depending on their

needs and interests. This year we added three new courses: another French Computer Class

(Level.2), wheel-chair dancing and a personal development workshop.

Movement

• Chair Dancing

• Boccia

• Physical Exercices

The release of endorphins (the ‘pleasure hormones’) occurs naturally during times of dynamic activity, and acts to reduce pain, and as anti-stress remedy for the well being and happiness of all.

Development

Art classes help to stimulate the minds and imaginations – providing a wonderful creative outlet for members.

Arts & Creativity improve self-esteem and confidence by raising awareness of their capabilities. Patience, resourcefulness, curiosity and assertiveness are other qualities reinforced by these activities.

Learning about one’s self, building confidence/ self esteem, developing cooking/ food safety skills and increasing independence - are just some of the many course benefits empowering our members.

Activities Committee

Planning and organizing of the Centre’s various social and recreational outings is managed

through the collaborative efforts of the Member’s own Activities Committee. Under the

supervision of Senior Manager Mrs. Ilham Bouzouma, this Committee is guided by 7 active

members, who have full responsible over the budget, logistics and execution of all activities,

events and excursions. These are just a few of the avenue that allows our Member’s to

reinforce their commitment to ‘giving back’ to their community, while simultaneously

enhancing their collective autonomy, independence and self-esteem. The Action Centre is

most grateful for their continued contribution to the Centre’s wide range of activities.

Revenues and Expenses

In 2014, the Action Centre, like many community organizations, faced the impact of the

aftershocks of the current economic climate and in cuts to government subsidies. This,

naturally, has affected our operating budget. The Centre remains on stable financial footing -

with solid management and Board governance – coupled with the successful implementation

of various cost cutting measures to ensure the continuity of services.

Testimonials

Members

Gabriel B. has been an active

member for 15 years, since he

suffered a stroke.

He’s on the team managing

the on-site Canteen. Having

specific tasks helps provide

added mental stimulation,

and boosts his morale.

“… If I didn’t have anything to

do, I wouldn’t come as often”

Paul W. tells of how before

coming to the Centre, he

only had a local mall to go to

in order to pass the time.

At the Action Centre, Paul

has met many new and

interesting people.

Several have become close

friends, who he sees often

outside the Centre.

Audrey H. lives in a CHSLD Spending her weeks at the Centre allows her to enjoy in many creative and stimulating activities, and take part in meaningful discussions / conversations. “Most of the people at my

residence are 80+ years.

Many are sick or terminally ill

- we have little in common

and sadly, can’t share in

activities or conversation”

.


Action Centre

Teachers

The many devoted teachers at the Action Centre are specially trained and sensitive to the

realities and challenges facing our Members’ many afflictions and conditions. They work hard

to deliver an individual and personalized experience, best suited to maximize learning,

comprehension, retention and enjoyment.

Here is the testimony of three such teachers sharing their perspectives and experiences.

Nicole O. teaches Visual

Arts at the Centre.

"Art is wonderful tool to

promote social integration

and achievement among

the members,…Art

enhances many personal

skills including patience,

initiative and perseverance,

self-expression, creativity

and self-esteem."

Andrea P. teaches meditation,

personal development and

wheel /chair dancing classes.

“My goal is to help our

members maintain a sense

well-being, cheerfulness and

abundance…

Participants often arrive

feeling sad and morose, and

I try to ensure they leave

invigorated and revitalized”

Allison is very busy,

teaching 7 different

courses to our members.

For her, the Centre

represents a home away

from home ...” My

students behave like a

family: I see lots of

support among members.

There is no negative

competition amongst

them. They encourage and

inspire each other", said

Alison.

Les participants se

comportent comme dans

une famille. « Je vois

beaucoup d’entraide entre


Action Centre

Caregivers

Our devoted team of Caregivers, Attendants and Orderlies provide exceptional, personalized

full-time care with patience, kindness, respect and compassion.

Carine D.

“We adapt easily to the

needs and demands of the

members. They are free here

...We try hard to relieve

them of the rigid schedules

imposed on them at the

residences, and to relax,

enjoy and learn...”

Mélissa G.

Mélissa recognizes and

promotes friendship and

camaraderie within the

Centre: “We don’t like to

see people all alone in their

corner… If we see this, we

approach and talk to them –

listen. It sets a great

example for the others, too.

“We then enjoy watching, as

they are now more inclined

to do the same with their

friends and peers.

Abdellah E.

Abdellah remarked that the

Centre offers a large and

diverse range of activities.

“Here, people can easily find

a course or workshop that

suits their interests. Through

doing and learning, they fill

their time productively and

can put aside their problems

for a moment."


Action Centre

Volunteers & Students/Interns

“The Action Centre lies at the

heart of so many lives – and is

genuinely a place of respect,

accessibility, creativity and

socialization. As a truly

unique environment of

integration across cultures,

languages and communities,

Action Centre contributes

greatly to the development

and diversity of Québec.

By virtue of the services and

assistance available to those

in need, the Centre is solidly

positioned as a distinguished,

successful and sustainable

community organization -

a vital foundation for

future generations”

. Centre Action est un

bâtisseur pour leur avenir..! »

Tonya B., Intern, Dawson College

“I thank Action Centre for

giving me the opportunity to

do my internship here. I’ve

had a very warm welcome

from all the staff and

members. It felt like home -

and I have been able to put

into valuable practice

everything I’ve learned.

I have benefited personally

as well, by improving my

own self-confidence. Know

that I love you all very much

and that I will always carry

you in my heart ...”

José S., Volunteer

Ingreed C., Intern, Champlain College

“The Action Centre has

really helped me to better

understand this wonderful

community. Since my very

first day, I have always been

greeted with smiling faces

and warm welcomes.

Despite the fact that I have

been interning here just a

few short months, I learn

something new every day.”
