Community Living Ontario is a nonprofit provincial confederation in the Civic and Social Organizations sector that advocates for the inclusion of people with intellectual disabilities in all aspects of community life. Based in Toronto, Ontario, it supports a network of more than 125 local agencies and works with families and individuals to promote dignity, rights, and opportunities for growth within the community. The organization emphasizes recognizing the value of each person and aims to ensure equal participation and respect for people with intellectual disabilities, leveraging advocacy and collaboration to advance these goals across Ontario. In addition to ongoing advocacy, Community Living Ontario engages in public policy activities, such as presenting pre-budget submissions to the Ontario government, and recognizes achievements through events like the Inspiring Possibilities Awards. A recent development includes expanding its provincial network through partnerships with organizations such as Lcdspetrolia, reflecting its role in coordinating efforts across the developmental services sector.
