Ms. Joanne Peacock addressed Council with respect to the Community Living
Association. She advised Council that as a youngster with Cerebral Palsy, she
was in segregated classes most of the time during her school years.
Approximately seven years ago she became involved with the local Community
Living Association and has had a variety of jobs, from assembly and packaging
to seJling wooden toys. Her favourite placement is the schoolhouse daycare
centre at Central Collegiate where her co-workers have made her feel welcome
and a contributing member of the team. They are looking at her abilities, not
her disabilities. She asked Council to accept handicapped people for what they
are, persons with hopes and dreams, wanting to be a very real part of the
community in which they live.

of Mr. Ron Strike and Mrs. Nickerson, vacated her chair and refrained from
