for people like Yvonne.

Yvonne has lived in a Mary Centre supported independent living apartment for several years, and also participates in introduction to community. Here's how Yvonne describes her life.

"I have four different workers and they all help me with appointments, helping me in hard times, good times, Mary Centre stuff and other things too.

I am also athletic (and have been with) Ontario Special Olympics for the last 20 years. The sports I play are indoor soccer, outdoor soccer, bowling, basketball and speed skating. At first I wasn't so good, but a couple (of) years later I improved and got better.

I'm so proud of myself for going to the provincial Winter Games in Barrie and the Ontario Special Olympics. I go to meets and tournaments for all my sports.

A lot of people are proud of me."
