Community Living Windsor provides supports and services to over 500 people who have an intellectual disability and their families in our Windsor community. The role of Community Living Windsor is to support new possibilities for people who have an intellectual disability that leads to a better life, to promote empowerment and to create new opportunities for building an inclusive community. We believe that we are all equal citizens of a community where we all belong. Communities that are enriched by people with diverse talents, interests and skills....people living in ordinary homes, attending neighbourhood schools, working at regular jobs and participating in activities and events alongside our friends and neighbours. We see our community as having the capacity and potential to welcome and support people who have an intellectual disability into a network of resources and opportunities. By becoming connected to our neighbourhoods and communities, relationships develop and through this, new interests and a greater sense of self-worth is gained for all. Community Living Windsor is committed to creating new opportunities for building an inclusive community and actively supporting new possibilities for people that lead to a better life. |
A Word from Xavier ...
“Hello. I'm Xavier Noordermeer, the Executive Director of Community Living Windsor.
Community Living Windsor was founded in 1952 by a volunteer group of eight dedicated Windsor families whose tireless efforts pioneered the supports that exist today. It is a privilege to continue these early efforts and be part of an organization that embraces change and challenges while remaining committed to those we serve.
As Executive Director, I am honoured by the continued trust placed in us by people and families. I am proud of our many dedicated staff and volunteers who are committed to creating new opportunities for people and for being positive and caring role models in our community.”
