Setting our sights high
It’s important that SCIO is as effective and efficient as possible, and that Ontarians know who we are and what we do. Michael Richardson and the leadership team are enthusiastically committed to making this happen, and they’re not alone. All our professional staff share valuable expertise across the province every day to help clients meet their goals. And our entire community – clients, volunteers, donors and partners – form a strong, sustainable foundation, securing our place as Ontario’s leader in SCI support, service and advocacy.
