38 years ago, I began working with Karis Disability Services (then, Christian Horizons) in Ottawa. We were a much smaller organization then and were in the process of expanding to Eastern Ontario. Things moved quickly as we scrambled to respond to the needs of people moving out of institutions and into community settings. It was an exciting time! Much has changed since then as we became the largest provider of developmental services in Canada. Much has also stayed the same! The values that were at the heart of what we were doing remain strong. We remain committed to serving others and their unique needs because we value people as all created in image of God. People moving into community settings means they have opportunities to form new, deep, and meaningful relationships. We are still passionate about enhancing relationships, the first of our six Service Principles.
