With respect to renewals of SSAH funding and how it is merging with Passport, I have not heard anything concrete from parents about receiving renewal information as of yet.
My son receives SSAH through Peel-he will remain as he is still a child. Instead of the usual renewal letter we get in the fall, he received a letter indicating that there would not be a renewal application required for 2012_2013 year. Instead, he would receive the same amount he previously had for the next fiscal year. Last week, he got a letter saying their offices were moving and there are new SSAH officers assigned. So, obviously in Peel they too are merging services moving forward.
