The Windsor-Essex Children’s Aid Society (WECAS) is excited about offering an innovative new podcast, Inspiring Community. WECAS is very aware of the diverse, multi-faceted elements of our community that come together to support children, youth and families as they celebrate success and rise to overcome significant financial, social and mental health challenges. Hosts Mike Clark and Tina Allen will be reaching out to many of WECAS’ community partners and resource organizations to provide insight and helpful suggestions. These will in turn provide a tool kit for listeners to apply in terms of managing parenting issues, financial strain, strengthening relationships, self-care and so much more. Join us as we look at new ways to reach for a better tomorrow.

Olivia Brezeneau has been with W5 for the past 20+ years and is the Chief Executive Officer. She is proud to lead an organization that provides support to newcomers, women, job seekers, seniors, and youth in the Windsor-Essex community. Her passion for assisting underprivileged populations has led W5 in grassroots service initiatives and collaboration development with many local and provincial networks. Terry Johnson is President of the Board of Directors of W5.
