 The Northern Chapter encompasses a large geographical area that runs from the Quebec border to the Manitoba border and, from the Muskoka’s to Hudson’s Bay. Due to our immense area and travel constraints we are limited to a Spring Meeting and then meet again at the Annual APSAO Fall Conference. The Spring Meeting is usually held in Sudbury for those who can attend in person and the rest of our chapter members are teleconferenced. Although APSWs are housed in a variety of agencies [ACLs, Generic Services, Children Services and Mental Health agencies] we all offer the same services.
Contact Reps are: Gilles Goulard and Nadine Methe who can be reached by calling 705-560-0430 or 1-800-685-1521 or emails:

We provide advocacy, case management and counselling services for persons with a developmental disability living in our communities.
Within Chapter’s boundaries, the large facilities of Rideau Regional Centre, Prince Edward Heights, Ongwanada (former L.S. Penrose Centre), D’Arcy Place, Plainfield Chidren’s Home,and the St. Lawrence Regional Centre were either re-developed or closed. Clients placed in these facilities often lost all contact with their families as families believed they could not care for their needs within their home or believed ‘professionals’ could do it better. As those persons now age they require more support In order to connect with us, please email as suggested on the website and we will reply as soon as possible. from our workers if they are to maintain the level of independence they have worked so hard to gain.
Youth striving to be more independent, clients facing eviction or court battles when children are apprehended, all sort of ‘problems’ are presented to APSW’s for clarification, assistance, advice, etc.
