Meet the CCSN Team

Our team is made up of individuals with dynamic and unique experiences and skills, with one thing in common: our passion for Community Support Services and providing support to our members who enable older adults and adults living with disabilities to live safely at home.

Sarah Cormier

Regional Decision Support

Sarah Cormier

(She/Her)

Sarah has worked as a Decision Support Specialist with CCSN since 2014. She is passionate about evidence-based planning, project design, and knowledge mobilization. Attention to detail is a strength and sometimes foe, that has placed her behind many of CCSN’s quality improvement projects.

She studied at the University of Guelph, with a one-year stop at the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow, UK where it rains every single day. A self-proclaimed nerd and sunshine enthusiast, Sarah spends much of her downtime making things like food and clothing from scratch, or looking for adventurous hikes, snowshoe trails, and her next great travel story.

Roxanne joined CCSN in November, 2021 as Project and Quality Improvement Specialist. She detains a Bachelor of Social Sciences specialised in Social Work from the University of Ottawa. Prior to joining CCSN, Roxanne worked 10 years in the Community Support Services sector, at a variety of levels. She served 7 years on the executive committee for the Adult Day Program Association.

Having worked frontline, Roxanne knows the hurdles faced by clients and caregivers in accessing timely community support services. She is passionate about improving coordinated access to community support services and standardization across the region. 

Roxanne is a proud Franco Ontarian who has lived in Vars her hole life and in fact still lives on the same street she grew up on.

When she is not at work, Roxanne enjoys cleaning (oddly, she knows), watching crime shows, being “aunty Rox,” to her friend’s kids and napping with her dog Maya by her side. Roxanne volunteers as a Board member for the Orleans-Cumberland Resource Centre.
