DIRECT SUPPORT LOCATIONS IN ONTARIO – LOCK DOWN DIRECTIONS

On December 26th, 2020 Ontario is entering a Province wide lock down.

DIRECT SUPPORT LOCATIONS – EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLAN

We have heard the importance of having clear plans and supports in place when responding to cases of COVID-19 at a location. We have released a new Emergency Response Plan – Site Specific Pandemic Addendum. This tool will help bring consistency to our program response plans across Christian Horizons and ensure that all the information needed during an outbreak is easily accessible for everyone. Most locations will already have a lot of this information included in a plan, however, this will be a way to ensure no areas are being missed.

ACTIVITIES AND VISITS IN ONTARIO

We are pleased to be able to host families once again in Ontario. The COVID-19 Visiting Guide for Locations* .   includes a visit planning form to help you schedule and prepare to host upcoming visits while complying with MCCSS guidelines.

The COVID-19 Visiting Record is live in the ODB! (Download instructions)  All Ontario locations are required to document visits here. A downloadable version is available for when the ODB is down. Please transfer all information to the ODB once it is back up and running.
