On Monday, January 6th, 2025, Karis Disability Services received notification from our government partner in Ontario, the Ministry of Children, Community and Social Services (MCCSS) of an upcoming compliance inspection. This inspection will take place across communities in Ontario from January 27th, 2025, through February 14th, 2025.
We expect that this inspection will include Supported Group Living (SGL), Supported Independent Living (SIL), Host Family Services (HFS) and/or Community Participation Support (CPS) locations.
While we do not currently know which service locations MCCSS will be visiting, we know that there will be visits in every district across Ontario, and that the MCCSS Compliance team will work with district leaders by January 27th to identify specific locations and inspection schedules.
It is also important to be aware that, similar to previous inspections, should the MCCSS inspection team find any issues that are considered to be “recurring” issues, these issues may be elevated to a higher level of response (e.g., a “high risk” issue will now be an “immediate risk” issue, and will require immediate response and follow-up).

For any questions, please contact your district Systems Manager(s) or Justin Radstake, Manager of Quality Assurance: jradstake@christian-horizons.org.
