Congratulations to Bryan Keshen, Reena's CEO, on successfully completing the Chartered Institute of Housing (CIH) Level 5 Diploma in Housing.

This achievement reflects Bryan’s ongoing commitment to advancing innovative, inclusive, and sustainable solutions for people with developmental disabilities. At Reena, we know that housing is more than shelter: it is the foundation for dignity, independence, belonging, and community participation.

As the developmental services sector continues to face growing housing challenges, strong leadership and cross-sector collaboration have never been more important. Bryan’s accomplishment reinforces Reena’s commitment to working alongside developmental service agencies, governments, housing providers, families, and community partners to create meaningful housing opportunities that meet the diverse needs of individuals we support.

Congratulations, Bryan, on this well-deserved achievement and for continuing to champion sector leadership in accessible and inclusive housing.

This past Sunday, Reena was proud to participate in the Littlest Volunteer Fair hosted by UJA Federation of Greater Toronto, a beautiful day filled with learning, connection, and community.
Young members of the community stopped by eager to discover how they can make a difference, and we were honoured to share more about Reena’s work, including our GReena initiative and the herb plants that will soon return to our residences for individuals and staff to nurture together.
One of the most meaningful moments came from a parent who shared that, nearly 40 years ago, he visited Camp Reena while attending Camp Shalom — and that experience of inclusion and community has stayed with him ever since. It was a powerful reminder that even small moments of connection can leave a lifelong impact.
Throughout the day, we also had the opportunity to speak with children about what a group home is and why inclusion matters. Their curiosity, kindness, and openness were truly inspiring.
A heartfelt thank you to UJA for creating opportunities like this that bring our community together and help build understanding, compassion, and belonging for all. Reena is proud to be part of such an important event and grateful to everyone who helped make the day so meaningful.

Reena is saddened by the passing of former City of Toronto councillor Howard Moscoe, a dedicated champion for inclusion and community integration.
Howard was a strong ally to Reena’s mission and worked closely with community leaders and families to advance opportunities for people with to live, learn, and belong in their communities. His advocacy helped support the of group homes in neighbourhoods and advanced integration within the school system alongside many passionate advocates.

Many in our community remember his close collaboration with Reena’s leadership and his genuine commitment to building a more inclusive Toronto.

We extend our heartfelt condolences to his family, friends, and all those whose lives he touched through his years of public service and advocacy.

At Reena, these same values guide our work every day. We believe is not just an idea, but a responsibility: to create homes where people belong, opportunities where people can grow, and communities where every individual is seen with dignity and respect.

reminds us that strong communities are built when we care for one another and ensure no one is left behind.

Chag Shavuot Sameach from the Reena family to yours.
