Scope and content

In 1978, the Sisters of St. Joseph and the Board of Directors of Mount St. Joseph Centre thought it necessary to move the centre to provide a less institutionalized and less centralized experience for the boys in residence. On March 30, 1979, the Halton Board of Education formally turned over the deed for a school located on 69 Flatt Road in Burlington to Mount St. Joseph. The name of Mount St. Joseph changed to Woodview Children’s Centre, as the Woodview name was well known in Burlington and they wanted to reflect the surrounding area. It was funded by the Children’s Services Branch of the Ontario Ministry of Community and Social Services. The official opening for Woodview Children’s Centre was on September 5, 1980. The Sisters were not involved with the organization once it moved to Burlington.

In the 1980s,Woodview expanded to Brantford, Ontario. In 1995, it assumed the responsibility for the Child and Family Assessment and Treatment Centre in Brantford. In Hamilton, a semi-independent living program for adults was established. In the 2000s, an Intensive Child and Family Services program, Early Years Mental Health Services, and Wraparound Complex Needs program were developed to provide school, home, and community support. At this point, the Burlington and Brantford residences transitioned to being home, school, and community-based programs with a day treatment component. The 2000s also saw a rise in children formally diagnosed with autism, and Woodview created services to assist children and parents. The Centre was later renamed Woodview Mental Health and Autism Services.

The documents that comprise this series discuss the relocation of the centre from 354 King Street in Hamilton to 69 Flatt Street in Burlington. Several committees worked hard to assist with the move, and their efforts are highlighted, along with discussion of the financial aspects of the relocation. Brochures and invitations concerning the official opening of Woodview celebrate these changes.
