Honouring 16 Years of Bridges to Belonging’s Community Building

Dear Families,

Extend-A-Family Waterloo Region celebrates the community building work of Bridges to Belonging over the past 16 years since they were founded as Facile: Independent Facilitation Waterloo Region. We have been friends and allies from the beginning, providing Bridges to Belonging with administrative support in the early days and an office since 2020, while sharing a common value-base and complementary missions. Our hearts go out to all who have been involved, from the Board, to the staff and volunteers and the people and families who accessed their services.

If there is anything we can do for the families supported by Bridges to Belonging, please reach out to our Director of Services, Ron Trajano at ron.trajano@eafwr.on.ca or at 519-741-0190 extension 225.

We are sorry to see Bridges to Belonging concluding their work. We will do what we can to further the work of building a Waterloo Region where everyone belongs.
