Working Together for the Future
We are committed to working on an individual basis to develop and implement personal goals which lead to participation in their community.
ADVOCACY
ensuring the opportunity to participate
In 1957 a parent group formed in Elmira to establish services and programs for children with developmental delays.
Through the generous and continuous support of the community, the Elmira & District Association for Community Living has been able to develop and support a network that ensures community recognition and participation. Since 1957 the Association has grown steadily, with a commitment to the provision of residential, vocational and community services. The Elmira & District Association for Community Living is dedicated to the further development of services and supports.
Members & Families
and our commitment
Like so many other communities in Ontario our Association owes its existence to parents from the Elmira community who were not satisfied with the level of opportunity available to their son or daughter.
Their commitment to establish recognition and supports for their children and their neighbours children has evolved into who we are today and will guide us into the future.
The Elmira & District Association for Community Living is a not-for-profit organization funded through the Ministry of Community Family and Chldren's Services and charitable events and donations.
