Community Living Ontario (French: Integration Communautaire Ontario), with business registration number 119248524RR0001, is a Canadian nonprofit organization advocating for individuals with intellectual disabilities and their families. Established in 1953 as the Ontario Association for Children with Intellectual Disabilities, it adopted its current name in 2009[^3^].
History
Founded on April 27, 1953, the organization initially focused on children with intellectual disabilities. In 1987, it became the Ontario Association for Community Living, reflecting a broader mandate to support inclusion across all life stages[^3^]. A pivotal achievement occurred in 2009 when it facilitated the closure of Ontario’s last remaining large-scale institutions for people with intellectual disabilities, transitioning support to community-based models[^3^].
Mission and Vision
The organization’s mission is to advocate alongside individuals with intellectual disabilities and their families to foster inclusive communities[^2^]. Its vision emphasizes belonging, dignity, and the freedom for individuals to lead self-directed lives[^2^].
Structure and Affiliations
Community Living Ontario operates through a network of 105+ local affiliate agencies and serves approximately 250,000 individuals across Ontario[^2^][^3^]. It is a provincial member of Inclusion Canada (formerly the Canadian Association for Community Living) and part of Inclusion International, a global advocacy network[^2^][^3^].
Advocacy and Impact
The organization promotes policy changes, public education, and community partnerships to advance rights and accessibility. It spearheads Community Living Month annually in May, recognized by the Legislative Assembly of Ontario to celebrate inclusion efforts[^3^].
