Supporting Rights And Choices
The “community living movement” began with families who wanted their children to live in the community, rather than institutions. Today, Community Living Toronto continues to advocate for full inclusion and belonging by providing opportunities for people with an intellectual disability to live the life they choose.
Community Living Toronto has been a source of support for people with an intellectual disability and their families since 1948. We offer a wide range of services including respite, person-directed planning, employment supports, supported living, and community-based activities. We are proud to support over 4,000 people and their families in 80+ locations across the GTA.
Our Vision
A society where everyone belongs. A society where everyone is valued.
Mission
Community Living Toronto fosters inclusive communities by supporting the rights and choices of people with an intellectual disability.
Our vision is driven by our core values.
Inclusion
Choice
Diversity
Everyone learns and develops in their own ways. Intellectual Disabilities arise before adulthood and last throughout life. People with an intellectual disability can face barriers in living the life they want.
An estimated 1 – 3 per cent of people in Ontario live with an intellectual disability.
