Our centre is presently involved in a program called "Raising the Bar". We recently completed the Bronze level and expect to reach the Silver level in late October. Are there any other centres involved in this program and if so, are you facing any challenges or successes?

A number of training programs our centre has attended had other centres involved with Raising the Bar attending as well. I have long wondered about this program. I know Peterborough area centres are heavily involved in this program. Care to share your experience Gord? I would love to get my centre involved.
Hey Andrea...I'm in Minden, just north of the Peterborough catchment area. All of Lindsay is involved too. It is voluntary but it has helped in improving some policies at our centre. We reached "bronze" last year and are hoping to attain the silver level in October. Try googling Raising the Bar...it originated a number of years ago in Hamilton.
