4- The Oakville Beaver, Wednesday July 23, 2008 www.oakvillebeaver.com Counselling program on hold A program designed to provide counselling to residents on social assistance has reached a standstill. A staff report received by Halton Region's health and social services committee at its meeting last week explains a suitable provider wasn't found in the request for proposal stage. Earlier, regional council had approved allocating $300,000 for a family counselling program for individuals and families receiving social assistance and low-income supports. Two proposals were evaluated, but Region staff said in its report that although both proponents demonstrated how they could provide traditional family counselling services, neither demonstrated how it would address more specialized needs. So the decision was made not to award the contract. As a result, a limited traditional family counselling service will be provided -- once a provider is found -- with up to $75,000 allocated. The remaining $225,000 will be reserved as staff continue to seek ways to provide these specialized services. O'Connor MacLeod Hanna LLP welcomes Robert A.
