Appendix 1 – Exceptions
The impact of COVID-19 was begun to be felt by Addiction Services for York Region (ASYR) in late February when confirmed presentations were postponed or cancelled. This continued into March when, at the beginning of March, nearly all of the awareness presentations were postponed or cancelled until further notice. In mid-March, ASYR moved to having all staff work remotely. Group sessions were not offered at that time as ASYR was focused on ensuring that staff were able to provide services to our clients remotely through a secure platform that was PHIPA compliant,
As a result of the above, ASYR was not able to achieve the targets for group sessions.
ASYR is moving toward offering group sessions remotely, starting in July 2020. ASYR is concerned that with COVID-19 and with current public health directives for physical distancing, etc., ASYR will be challenged to achieve its targets for the 2020-2021 fiscal year. ASYR is working hard to put strategies in place to do its best to achieve the targets set out in the M-SAA.

Appendix 1 – Exceptions
Addiction Services for York Region (ASYR) was not compliant in all areas of its programs and services. Due to staff gapping in some areas and a reduction in presentations, ASYR was unable to achieve its targets in Problem Gambling Awareness.
ASYR was also challenged in 2018-2019 with a large infusion of one-time funds in later part of Q4. With these funds, targets in a number of programs and services was increased. ASYR and its Wellness Collaborative partners worked very hard to achieve additional targets, given the short time frame, we were not successful in all areas.
ASYR is committed to achieving its targets annually and will continue to work hard in providing programs and services to people in need while working to achieve the annual targets that are set out by the funder.
