Message from the President & Executive Director
As we reflect on the past year, we are proud to share the progress and impact that Brampton Caledon Community Living has made in 2024–2025. A year marked by both accomplishment and perseverance.
This year marked the inaugural year for Executive Director, Charles Rego. His leadership brought renewed energy and a focused commitment to our mission of fostering inclusion and belonging for people with developmental disabilities. Together with our dedicated staff, volunteers, and partners, we have made meaningful strides toward realizing our vision of a truly inclusive community.
A significant highlight of the year was our continued advocacy under the #WaitingToBelong campaign. A call to action echoing across the province that sheds light on the growing needs of individuals and families who are still waiting for vital supports. BCCL has played an active role in amplifying this message through community engagement and public awareness efforts.
We also laid the groundwork for our 2026 Strategic Planning process, which will shape the long-term direction of the organization. This will include a deep and honest look at how we can expand our capacity, inclusiveness, and responsiveness to the evolving needs of people living with developmental disabilities in Brampton and Caledon.
Operationally, the past year saw several important enhancements. We undertook a focused review and update of key policies, strengthened our recruitment strategies, and refined our service delivery approaches to better meet the needs of those we support. These foundational efforts are critical to maintaining quality, consistency, and accountability across the organization.
We also worked intentionally to strengthen BCCL’s public profile, building deeper community relationships and increasing visibility through social media, events, and stakeholder outreach. These efforts ensure that the stories, voices, and rights of people we support remain front and centre.
These accomplishments were not without challenge. Rising inflation, escalating operational costs, and ongoing pressures around employee retention tested our resilience. But thanks to the commitment of our staff, board, and community partners, BCCL continues to move forward.
We are grateful to everyone who plays a role in our mission. From families and self-advocates, to staff, board members, funders, and supporters. Together, we will continue to build a stronger, more inclusive future.
Sincerely,
Carmen Baker, President and Charles Rego, Executive Director
