On September 17, 2024, Community Living Toronto hosted its 76th Annual General Meeting at the Tartu College Event Space. With over a hundred people in attendance, in-person and online, including staff, families, self-advocates, Developmental Services agencies and sector partners, the meeting saw the launch of our Annual Report 2023-2024 celebrating 75 years of belonging. This was followed by updates on strategic priorities by our outgoing Board Chair, Valérie Picher and Brad Saunders, CEO, Community Living Toronto and the announcement of our new Board Chair. 

Reflecting on our accomplishments over the past year, it was important that we also recognize our decades-long journey of service delivery in this city, as we marked a significant milestone in our organization’s history.

Throughout 2023-2024, our commitment towards better support and inclusion for people with intellectual disabilities continued to evolve as we:  

• Advocated for improved funding and financial stability in the sector;  
• Redesigned our Community Participation Supports model to create meaningful, inclusive experiences;  
• Improved employment supports with the expansion of MyJobMatch;  
• Reopened our newly renovated Sibley Parkview and expanded accessible, affordable housing options through “vertical communities”, which are apartment clusters in buildings around the city;   
• Came back stronger with our signature fundraising event, Community Rocks, hosted for the first time since the pandemic; and much more… 

As we take bigger, bolder steps into another year, the people we support, and their families will continue to be at the forefront of everything we do. Mary, a person in support with us, has said it the best: “The greatest gift is giving people chances to do what they can do and then letting them do it.” 

Thank you to all our families, partners and members for your trust, collaboration, and ongoing support in helping us create inclusive communities where people with intellectual disabilities can truly belong.
