ErinoakKids Capital Redevelopment Plan
Survey of Staff Members

We need your input. As you know, ErinoakKids has received a grant from the Ministry of Children and Youth Services to commence planning for a capital redevelopment project in support of the children and families of the Central West Region of Ontario.

At this stage, the planning is leaning towards consolidation of services from our seven sites to a renovated facility at the current South Millway location in Mississauga, a new major facility to be constructed in Brampton and a new rental site in the Milton area, but this could change as we receive stakeholder input. Regardless of the outcome, we will continue to provide services in homes, schools and community centres as appropriate.

The process is at a preliminary stage. Final recommendations and a decision to proceed are about 18 to 24 months out. Part of this early work involves obtaining the initial views of staff and community service providers. Study findings will be used to inform later parts of the process.

Please complete and submit this questionnaire no later than 5:00 p.m. Monday, December 22, 2008. You will have a chance to edit your responses when you click "Submit". Your survey will go directly to David Sheridan who is helping us with this project, so your replies will be anonymous and confidential.

A "wish list" of desirable attributes of any new facilities for ErinoakKids appears below. Please review the list and indicate your view of the relative importance of these attributes by allocating 100 points across the different items.
