May is Community Living Month!

May is Community Living Month across the province of Ontario and each year, Community Living Upper Ottawa Valley creates our own awareness campaign in conjunction with the provincial promotion to raise awareness right here in the Ottawa Valley.

More than 1,000 Ontario companies include employees with an intellectual disability. Does yours?

This year, several municipalities in the Upper Ottawa Valley have agreed to fly our Community Living Flag During the month of May.
