How do you define what community is?
The word community brings to mind being part of something larger and it is well known as a source of good feelings. It evokes a sense of belonging and brings people together despite their differences. However, it is these also differences that leads to each person defining community in a different way.
Supporting people who have an intellectual disability to define what community is for themselves, then ensure that their quality of life in that community is meaningfully improved, is the basis of everything we do at Community Living Mississauga. It is a foundation that we have built upon for nearly 70 years.
Our organization has come a long way since 1955, but there is still so much more to do. We need your assistance in making our community more inclusive and welcoming for the more than 3000 people and families we support.
Today, we are asking you to help ensure that everyone supported by Community Living Mississauga can live their best lives in whatever their community is.
- Become a member of Community Living Mississauga — it only costs $20 to be a member and you’ll help us shape the future direction of our organization. Members are also invited to our Annual General Meeting to be held on Thursday June 20, 2024, where our theme will be “Community is”
- Make a donation — any amount will help us to continue to ensure the quality of life is meaningfully improved for people who have an intellectual disability.

Sincerely,
Laura Sluce, President Keith Tansley, Executive Director
