Routes Connecting Communities is a York Region community based not-for-profit organization dedicated to helping people get to where they need to go on their journey.
We improve access to basic needs and special destinations, enhance community engagement and improve social connections through safe, affordable, compassionate and timely transportation. We help those who are experiencing social, physical, mental and financial limitations to using common transportation methods, and are there in times of need for members of our communities.
YSSN communicates, connects, and collaborates with people who live with serious mental illness and/or a developmental disability.
We help them, alongside their families and caregivers, develop relationships and connections to their community, which benefits their overall well-being.
The Up Your Life guide, a collection of more than 400 community resource listings, tips, and other helpful information for people living in York Region, is now available as a free, downloadable PDF to anyone who needs it. The guide is also available in French.
