What does Community Living Toronto do?

Since 1948, Community Living Toronto has been a source of support for thousands of individuals with an intellectual disability searching for accessible and meaningful ways to live in the community. Whether it is living alone or with a roommate, working in a supported environment or participating in community activities, we are here to help individuals realize their full potential and dreams; our Mission Statement echoes this belief: Community Living Toronto changes the lives of people with an intellectual disability by giving them a voice and supporting their choices where they live, learn, work and play.

What is Community Rocks?

A critical component of Community Living Toronto's ability to meet the current and future needs of people with an intellectual disability is the active role many community and business leaders take within the organization.
