Our Vision

At the Rexdale Women’s Centre, our vision is that in the Greater Toronto Area all immigrant, newcomer and refugee women and their partners, children, parents, and other family members of all generations have everything they need:

· to access education, housing, services, programs, and meaningful/gainful employment;

· to eff ectively settle and integrate into the local community and fully participate in Canadian society;

· to become self-suffi cient and fi nancially secure;

· to have respectful, caring and harmonious relationships with their partners, family members, neighbours and community members; and

· to live happy, safe, healthy, and socially active lives in which they are honoured and respected for who they are regardless of their background or gender.

Our Mission

Rexdale Women’s Centre is an independent, not-for-profi t, voluntary agency that serves high-need women and their family members residing in the Greater Toronto Area. Our Mission is to support immigrant, newcomer and refugee women and their family members of all generations to become fully participating members of Canadian society who are self-suffi cient, fi nancially secure, safe, happy, healthy and socially active.

We accomplish this by enhancing our clients’ individual functioning skills and by facilitating their access to resources, agencies, and community services. In particular, we assist our clients by providing programs and services that include settlement services, English language classes, violence prevention services, children’s services, family support services, and post-settlement service.

About Rexdale Women’s Centre

4

An eastern proverb states: “If we are able to be involved but remain indiff erent, we are responsible for the consequences”. The rich history of Rexdale Women’s Centre and its contribution to the community over the last 35 years demonstrates a deep commit-ment and signifi cant involvement in making our community strong, healthy, safe and diverse.

Rexdale Women’s Centre is celebrating 35 years of service in the community. In November 1978, a group of women came together to address the needs of women and immigrant women living in North Etobicoke. They had a vision: To create a space for all women to gather, obtain support and to fi nd the means to improve their lives, ensure their children’s well-being and strengthen their families. In coming together, these pioneers created the foundations for a better community for all its residents. Our staff , board and volunteers carry with them the passion, vision and drive to continue that legacy. We continue to strive to achieve the goal of fostering respect and honour for all individuals who walk through our doors regardless of their background or gender.

In the early 1980s Rexdale Women’s Centre was building its capacity to increase women’s knowledge, to develop the use of skills for day-to-day living and providing spaces for immigrant women to meet other women. In 1989, Rexdale Women’s Centre made a decision to serve all members of the community: women, children, youth, seniors and men, believing then as we do now, that positive change enters when the doors are open to all. In the 1990s Rexdale

Women’s Centre expanded its settlement, supportive counseling, English language instruction, support groups and life skills workshops. Since 2000, our services expanded to include assisting families to enhance parenting skills and to address spousal abuse. We expanded our language services in response to the emerging needs of newer communities settling in North Etobicoke. In the later part of 2007, we grew again to expand our settlement services and partnerships and increased our work with women who were experiencing spousal abuse.

We are proud that Rexdale Women’s Centre has been a vital and vibrant service organization in North Etobicoke since 1978 and are grateful we have been able to make a positive impact in the lives of so many individuals and families we have helped over the last 35 years. It is a time for us to rejoice in our diversity and to share in the richness of our cultures; we can take pride in that our cultural diversity and heritages collectively contribute to Canada’s multicultural mosaic. We are proud that Rexdale Women’s Centre has fostered and created spaces for individuals and families to be welcomed, respected and aff orded opportunities to learn and grow.

Rexdale Women’s Centre is known as a high performing organization with a successful history or collaboration, partnerships and service delivery. Like a river we continue our fl ow forward. Our past successes shape the path we will take in the coming years, as we continue to maintain our adaptative capacity striving for excellence.

Chairperson’s and Executive Director’s Message 2012�–�2013

5

In order to build on our excellence and continue our successes, and address emerging needs, we underwent a strategic planning process and we have identifi ed 4 priority areas:

• Realign key programs and services to ensure it fi ts with the community needs and with our capacity

• Strategically align new partnership and collaboration opportunities to maintain and enhance our ability to provide quality service

• Generate revenue and build resources for sustainability

• Build internal capacity of the organization in order to continue providing eff ective and effi cient services

We would like to thank the dedicated staff and board of directors. Their contributions strengthen our ability to better serve women and their family members. Our strong partnerships with more than 150 community organizations, school boards, educational and health institutions build on our belief that together we can create the foundations for well-being.

As we look to the future, we are proud of our achievements and the accomplishments of our clients: together we can create a world of diff erence. Let us celebrate Rexdale Women’s Centre’s 35 year of service as we continue to promote respect and dignity; let us celebrate and value our diversity and build a harmonious and caring community for all residents.

Strategic Directions

RWC’s strategic directions build on the idea of developing its adaptive capacity as an organization. We will focus on developing its ability to react to and instigate change in the coming years. This recognizes the unpredictability of the environment RWC is in, and supports managing and fl ourishing in the face of that unpredictability.

To that end, we have set four core strategic directions. Action on these strategic directions will strengthen the central role that RWC plays in creating healthy families and communities in North Etobicoke and beyond:

Short Term Supportive Counselling

Women need support in order to make informed decisions as they may not have information in order to overcome personal obstacles and crisis. Without critical pieces of information, women may not have the confi dence to make the decisions that are right for them. We staff provide culturally, and linguistically appropriate support for women when they encounter diffi culties in moving ahead.

Employment and Career Counselling

Securing employment is one indicator of an individual’s ability to contribute to society. Immigrant women, women from racialized communities, and refugee women face additional barriers to fi nding employment and re-establishing their careers when they settle in Canada. We provide assistance to women to determine their career and employment goals. Linkages are made with other employment related services in the community, English language classes, training, apprenticeship and volunteer opportunities. With the right connections and supports, women spend less time trying to navigate numerous services and eligibility criteria.

Parenting and Family Supportive Counselling

Raising healthy children can be a diffi cult but rewarding challenge for parents. For newcomer, refugee and single parent families the challenges may be are greater than anticipated. Financial resources may be inadequate and families are at greater risk of poverty and isolation. Newcomer, immigrant and refugee parents need support to raise healthy children in a new country with diff erent culture, values and language. We provide support to parents to cope with the many challenges and rewards of raising healthy children.

Employment Support Groups for Women

Connecting, practicing and learning are some methods utilized by the participants to develop realistic employment goals. For women, especially, immigrant women and women from racialized communities with foreign credentials gainful employment is elusive. We assist women who are seeking to enter the workforce, or who are looking to establish themselves in the profession for which they have trained.

Canada’s population is aging and communities are working hard to address the needs this emerging group. Seniors from diverse cultural groups currently have limited access to community resources and services. Increasingly, immigrant and ethno-cultural seniors struggle with isolation caused, in part, from limited fi nancial means to go out or from being left alone all day or not knowing about how to access services. Feelings of isolation impact their ability to function and lead to increased health risks.

Spousal Abuse Support and Crisis Counselling

Immigrant women, refugee women and women of colour face specifi c challenges that create barriers which can make them more vulnerable to abuse. Many women seek out our services to address the violence that they are experiencing in their lives. For some women, assistance comes in the form of disclosure and respect. We provide one-on-one assistance to women who are experiencing violence in the home or dealing with a crisis in their lives.
