Fact sheetCommunity Living Glengarry is a non-profit organization operated by a community Board of Directors and managed by an appointed Executive Director. We provide service to people with intellectual disabilities and their families We call it Community Living because we think that everybody deserves the opportunity to live, go to school and work in their own community with other people. There are over 100 Community Living organizations in Ontario. Community Living Glengarry gets funding from the Ministry of Community and Social Services / Ministry of Children and Youth Service to the amount of two million dollars per year. We serve 87 persons with a staff complement of 60 working in residences, day programs and providing different supports for people in North and in South Glengarry. Some people reside with their own families and others with extended families in the homeshare program. 30 live in our residences and a number of adults live on their own in the community with support from Community Living Glengarry. For 37 years (since 1966) Community Living Glengarry has envisioned "creating a community with equal opportunity for all citizens to be treated with dignity and respect".
Community Living Glengarry strongly advocates the closure of institutions across Ontario. We also advocate the need for an increase in ODSP (Ontario Disability Support Plan) income Support and revenue for providing Quality Supports and Services, by addressing these issues on a political platform. Our position is supported by Community Living Ontario. Community Living Glengarry values all individuals with intellectual or developmental disabilities by providing them with quality of service and a quality of life. We firmly believe that all individuals have the right to live, learn, work and participate in all aspects of living in our community.
