Volunteer Week

Posted on April 22, 2013

Thunder Bay Counselling Centre proudly recognizes National Volunteer Week, April 21 – 27, 2013.

In an announcement on April 16th, Minister Tracy MacCharles, the Ontario Minister of Consumer Services, has confirmed the government’s intention to introduce legislation that, if passed, would establish new rules for companies offering debt settlement services to protect vulnerable consumers. 

On March 25th, 2013 Thunder Bay Counselling Centre along with five other Violence Against Women organizations:

Duncan Macgillivray, board chair for Thunder Bay Counselling Centre and Debbie Zweep, executive director of Faye Peterson House met with Mayor Hobbs and city councilors on March 11, 2013 to express concern over the rate of domestic violence in Thunder Bay.

Tom Wilken, author of Rebuilding Your House of Self-Respect has been raising awareness of male sexual abuse and assault for many years. As part of raising awareness Tom, in partnership with Thunder Bay Counselling Centre, has provided his book free of charge to any man who has experienced sexual abuse/assault, anyone supporting a male survivor and/or anyone who wants to learn about male sexual abuse/assault.

On February 27 and 28th we hosted Family Group Decision Making Basic and Advanced training at the Airlane Hotel and Conference Centre in Thunder Bay.  This training was followed by a full day presentation on March 1st by Nishnawbe-Aski Legal Services Corporation on Talking Together, an Aboriginal Approach to ADR.  The training was well-attended with participants coming from a broad range of backgrounds and experiences.  Many thanks to all of our presenters and trainers, as well as to everyone who attended for three days of rich learning and dialogue. 

The Government of Ontario has announced its intention to protect consumers by imposing regulations on the practices of debt settlement companies. 

Training is now full. REGISTRATION CLOSED.
