Links2Care is an agency with a heart
Wednesday September 3 2008

With a proud history of serving Halton residents dating back to 1972, Links2Care provides a myriad of social services to support families in our area.
Assisting seniors and people with disabilities is one of their core mandates. Links2Care can arrange home help and maintenance, friendly visits and Meals on Wheels, among other services, which help people live independently in their own homes for longer than they otherwise would.
The Ontario Early Years Centres provide help to parents and younger children, ensuring they grow up and achieve their full potential. Launched in the late 1990s by my friend and former legislative colleague, Margaret Marland, our Early Years programs continue to be important investments in our society’s future. Links2Care delivers Early Years programming in Acton and Georgetown.
These are but a few examples of Links2Care’s “links to our community.”
I had the chance to meet some of this agency’s dedicated staff in Georgetown on August 18. I came away very impressed with their enthusiasm and commitment.

On Sunday August 10, Acton’s heritage and community spirit were on display at this year’s  Leathertown Festival. I was glad to be able to attend and participate.
I want to express my appreciation to Josey Bonnette and the Leathertown committee members, as well all the sponsors who helped to make the Festival such a great success. Thank you!

We’ll forever remember the summer of ’08 for its wet weather and good times. Now that school’s back, we look forward to our Fall Fairs in Georgetown and Acton and across Wellington-Halton Hills. Hope to see you at one of the fairs.

The Ontario Legislature is scheduled to resume sitting on September 22. Until then, you can reach me at our Provincial Riding Office, although I am out and about at meetings and events much of the time. If you have ideas or concerns about the issues facing the province, please don’t hesitate to contact me at 1-800-265-2366, or by e-mail at ted.arnott@pc.ola.org. My website is www.tedarnottmpp.com.
