A Message from Dean Johnson
CEO, CLH DSS
2021-2022 mirrored the previous year in many ways. Once again, the COVID-19 pandemic and the health and safety of supported
individuals and staff remained our primary focus at CLH Developmental Support Services. Despite months and months of pandemic
response, CLH staff continued to deliver the highest quality care through everchanging guidelines and times of uncertainty. With no apparent
end in sight, we were able to continue to provide meaningful supports and services – all while keeping people safe.
CLH Foundation was a key partner to CLH Developmental Support Services throughout this time. Priority areas
of support were identified by CLH, and CLH Foundation stepped up to help in ways that are not addressed by
traditional funding. Simply put: CLH Foundation’s underwriting of projects like Commitment to Care and Bridging the
Gap had real impact on real people – and the CLH community is grateful for the ongoing support.
The never-ending generosity from the North Simcoe community continued to be nothing short of inspirational, and
certainly provided an important boost to programming. Thank you to the entire CLH Foundation community for your
unwavering support in all forms – acts of kindness, words of encouragement, and critical donations. You have made
a vital difference in the lives of many.
Dean Johnson
Chief Executive Officer
