Surrey Place Centre applauds 2016 Ontario Budget Funding Investment for Autism Services

February 26, 2016 by Surrey Place Staff

Toronto, February 26, 2016 – Surrey Place Centre is pleased with the Government of Ontario’s 2016 Ontario Budget tabled Thursday by Finance Minister Charles Sousa that highlighted $333 million will be invested over the next five years to help improve autism services.

The funding will help ensure that more children will receive critical intervention earlier through services that are better matched to their needs.

“We are pleased to have worked in collaboration with the Ministry of Children and Youth Services in the best interests of all the children, youth, adults, and families that we serve,” said Steven Finlay, Chief Executive Officer Surrey Place Centre. “We are committed to supporting families in the program and on the waitlist and will be working closely with them as we expand and improve autism services.”

The Ministry of Children and Youth Services will provide more information in the coming weeks.

“We know families will have important questions about this investment,” said Mr. Finlay. “We will share this information as soon as possible.”

In the meantime, there will be no immediate changes to services as result of this announcement.
