The goal of the symposiums is to create a shared provincial understanding about person-directed planning by sharing information and discussing the core values, principles and functions associated with person-directed planning, including why it is important and the partnerships required to promote the values and principles that drive this approach to planning and facilitation.

The audience for the symposiums will be capped at 100 participants in total from the following groups: adults with developmental disabilities, families, service providers and others who are interested in learning more about person-directed planning. Registration will be on a first-come, first-served basis.

The symposiums will be all day events and will be held in:

• Ingersoll on March 11, 2010
• Toronto on March 23, 2010
• Ottawa on March 26, 2010
• Thunder Bay on March 29, 2010
• Sudbury on March 31, 2010
