Our 2022 AGM & Conference will be held at the Sheraton Parkway Toronto North Hotel & Suites from September 14th to 16th. Each year, Community Living Ontario will continue to build on the Inspiring Possibilities theme and showcase new ideas and best practices.
Achieving Community Living Ontario’s vision relies on us working together with our local associations, families, people who have an intellectual disability, partners and other organizations with similar values.
Let's exchange ideas on how to move our collective vision forward and create a more inclusive Ontario together.
