Oxford Community Child Care (OCCC) has been selected as the new lead agency for the Ontario Early Years program in Oxford County. OCCC will assume responsibility for the program effective April 1, 2012. http://www.oxfordccc.ca/ We are concerned that there may be no plans to offer Early Years services in Drumbo. There is a survey on the OXFORDCCC site which we should utilize to express our requirements. We also suggest that all users of the Early Years program in the area contact OCCC to let them know about our needs. The contact is Wilma Molinaro, Program Supervisor, at 519-539-4419 or
