We send What's on the MOVES on the first and third Friday of the month. Our purpose is to share information about upcoming events, agency news and relevant announcements with the DC MOVES mailing list. If you have information to share through this bulletin, please email your information in text and an attached image or logo OR pdf AD/Flyer to the DC MOVES Coordinator Elaine Capes.
Our DC MOVES mission is to create a platform for fostering collaboration and information and knowledge sharing to benefit the human service providers who serve the residents of Dufferin County.

In sharing, together we can create the big picture view for helping citizens navigate the increasingly complex and changing human services landscape, and together we can create the conditions for better outcomes for our community.

Thank you for helping us all be Better together.

Join the Future of Work Coalition for a panel discussion focused on managing a remote team. Three Waterloo-based leaders who have led their teams through the transition to remote work will share their experiences.
