Bill Pollard was the former Manager of Community Living Lennox and Addington and was a huge part of turning it into what it is today.
When Bill first started, it was originally known as ARC, Adult Rehab Centre, in the late 60’s until the late 90’s.
We spoke with Barb Fabius to tell us a bit about Bill and his work with CLLA.
Barb says that from what she’s seen and from other people mentioning it, Bill was very compassionate, especially towards the individuals they supported. He was also known for engaging very strongly in community building with funding.
Bill helped lay the foundations from which the agency grew and helped it to to become what is known today as Community Living Lennox and Addington.
