About Us

Our Mission

Advocates for Access & Accountability (AAA) is a family-led advocacy committed to reforming Ontario’s care systems through access accountability and systemic oversight. The organization was created following the five-year documented systemic abuse and neglect of Harlan Comeau Jr., in group home in Toronto funded by the Ontario Government. Even with year long delays in assessment, lasting over 29 months the concept public service and transparency in the collaboration of care that is needed to support inclusion and participation is a word and not a reality. It is easier to ignore, deflect and believe that the lost voices of those vulnerable are not heard but they are, with families loved ones, and those who strive for the ideal of our social justice being enforcement as much as our societal values strived for in any investment made on behalf of the People and for the People.

Why We Exist

Because families should never need to fight for basic rights like access, safety, dignity and transparency in public programming and care supports for quality of life and community inclusion. Because vulnerable people deserve better. Because silence protects systems — not people. AAA Team exists to address systemic accountability failures in publicly funded disability care, where government funding continues while oversight, transparency and enforceable safeguards lag behind lived outcomes

Our Purpose

We will expose systemic barriers and support families navigating complex care systems. We push government programs to meet their legal, ethical and fiscal obligations in delivering publicly funded care -- and monitor it. Though based in Ontario, we recognize similar failures across Canada and stand ready to help families nationwide. Public policy and program reform must confront systemic discrimination that should have been addressed decades ago. Delays imply vulnerable people do not matter; we exist to ensure they always do.

Our Vision

Advocates for Access & Accountability (AAA) was born out of a five-year fight for one vulnerable man, Harlan Comeau Jr., a son, brother, uncle, friend and a cherished member of his community who was denied his rights, family, belongings and his dignity in a publicly funded group home. A group home contracted by the Ontario Government to deliver the programs in care and support services.

What happened to Harlan is happening to countless others across Ontario and likely across Canada as parents, guardians, substitute decision makers share their struggles as public programs do not monitor care and government believes they do not have a fiscal responsibility nor moral duty to ensure their group homes are safe and strive to meet the ideals of community living in connection, participation and inclusion. AAA is a cohesiveness to the advocacy so families do not walk this journey alone.

Our History

Since our founding in 2022, AAA has been dedicated to helping individuals and families in need since 2021. We have grown and evolved to meet the changing needs of our community and more importantly to align public programming, fiscal responsibility and service accountability. The plight is real.

Vulnerable people are being harmed in publicly funded special care homes. There voices are lost and the pleads of help by families are being ignored.

Our Impact

Through our programs and services AAA is helping families overcome adversity by advocating effectively, documenting the institutional abuse and systemic discrimination as a means to achieve their goals in care, collaboration and access.
