Reflection
Our October Reflection is written by Keith Dow, Manager of Organizational and Spiritual Life.
Did you know that Christian Horizons started as a summer camping experience? In 1967, what was then known as the “Ontario Christian Association for Exceptional Children” launched a camping ministry in the Haliburton Highlands. Jim and Adrienne Reese knew that new ways of supporting families who experienced disabilities were needed, so they set out to meet these needs with a lot of faith and very few expectations about what would arise from their vision. Then, from the 1970’s on, Christian Horizons began providing more community living supports for people. We were an active part of the movement advocating for the closure of institutions and supported people as these institutions closed across Ontario and Saskatchewan.
