Community-based decision

Planning factors to consider

Francophone community agencies cover all of Simcoe County

Services available in French are very

limited.

Providing services to 12 schools

Community needs

Francophone community being very small but serving a large area, we must unite in order to be more effective with the limited resources we have. In order to unite, we must meet every month to strengthen and create new relationships, in order to ensure maximum service potential.

Moving forward!

Evaluation of past accomplishement will be done in 2012-2013.

COMPASS is the only networking opportunity between French school boards, organization and agency members and will remaine a priority.
