The Goals of People First of Ontario

• To promote equality for all persons.
• To assist other people trying to speak up for themselves and making their own decisions.
• To teach the members about the rights, abilities, and strengths of People First of Ontario.
• Our Driving Force
  
  We want people in the community to see us as people first. The problem is, we are still being labelled with damaging words like retarded and slow. We have been taken away from our families and communities, and have been kept in institutional settings. We have been kept in segregated workshops and schools apart from other people in our community. People have forgotten that we have the same dreams and the same needs as they do.

The People Helping People group of Opening New Doors is a group of people who face challenges in accessing their community.  They have come together in order to welcome and support others with similar challenges.  At the meetings we speak out about things that are important to us, see our friends and meet new friends and learn new things about our community.
