Printing Instructions
Printing the Profiles
The Community profiles listed are available in PDF files for web viewing or downloading purposes. If you wish to print any or all of the profiles please read the following information or you may wish to consider ordering what you need.
Paper size- Ledger page 11" x 17" (279mm x 432mm) is highly recommended and is the default setting for these documents. Many larger copiers can take ledger size paper but most desk printers have a maximum paper size of 8.5 x 11.
Orientation- Be sure to adjust your print settings for 'Landscape' and adjust accordingly if using smaller paper size to avoid waste. It is highly recommended that you use the 'print preview' button to ensure that the document layout is correct for the print job.
Print properties- For best results colour printing is recommended for the Community profiles. The profiles can be viewed and printed in black and white.

Outreach Programs - for your client families experiencing barriers to participation in mainstream parent/child activities.
The Parent Resource Centre provides several programs to which you may refer parents and their young children:
Growing Up Downtown - parent/child program offering resources and activities for families living in difficult circumstances in the centre of the city.
Supporting Neighbourhood Caregivers - training for parents and other caregivers in neighbourhoods where low income, limited literacy, social isolation, and being new to Canada are realities. The training is non-print based and addresses child development, health and safety, how to care for children, and how to choose a caregiver.
Reaching Out - a service to support individuals facing barriers to participating in conventional parent education and support programs.
The following programs are usually self-referral, but please check them out for your clients:
- Parent Child Mother Goose - a literacy and bonding experience for parents and their young children.
- Post Partum Depression Support
