Community Living Ontario
Community Living Ontario is a nonprofit, provincial confederation that advocates for the inclusion of people who have an intellectual disability in all aspects of community life. We envision a society where people who have an intellectual disability belong, have equal rights, respect and acceptance, a sense of self-worth, and opportunities for growth. The gifts, uniqueness and innate value of each individual are celebrated, supported and acknowledged as essential to the completeness of the whole community. Our goal is for people who have an intellectual disability to live in a state of dignity, share in all elements of living in the community and have the opportunity to participate effectively. Community Living Ontario proudly serves and advocates on behalf of more than 12,000 members across the province. We promote and champion the inherent value, dignity, and human rights of people who have an intellectual disability.
