Community Living Manitoba is dedicated to the full inclusion of persons of all ages who live with an intellectual disability. Living, working and learning in an inclusive community means that all people — including those with an intellectual disability — have a variety of opportunities to contribute to their communities.
Community Living Manitoba is a strong provincial network of 11 Local Branches working together with partners, families and governments. We seek approaches to support the empowerment of people with intellectual disabilities in all aspects of their lives.
We are part of a movement
Community Living Manitoba is part of a national federation of 13 provincial-territorial associations and over 300 local associations. Together, we're advancing the inclusion and human rights of people with an intellectual disability and their families in every corner of the country. We're a family-led movement making change at local, provincial/terrritorial, and national levels. Our shared vision is of a Canada where everyone belongs.
Through our national organization, Inclusion Canada, we work collaboratively to create communities where people with an intellectual disability and their families are equally valued and fully included in every aspect of community life. Our movement extends beyond our borders, as part of Inclusion International. We invite you to join us?
We are a board governed, grassroots organization that has always been comprised of self-advocates, family and community members, as well as members of Local Branches throughout the province.
There are many ways in which you can get involved and help lend your support. Community Living Manitoba has existed for more than 60 years and in that time as an organization has transitioned often. We continue to change and adjust with emerging issues as resources allow.
Do you have a skill, business, or service that you can volunteer? We would welcome your inquiry. As a community organization we are governed by a board of directors who offer their time and expertise. Diversity on our board is an effective way to ensure that we make informed decisions and represent the community accurately. Email us now!
Of course we always appreciate your donation. Whether you decide to give a one-time gift or a monthly gift you can choose which priority you would like to see your dollars applied to. Visit Canada Helps and when you click on donate you are offered the option of five priorities.
Our programs and services are resourced through project funding. Sponsorship that enables people to attend our workshops and training is an additional boost. Families and people with intellectual disabilities often have limited income and benefit greatly by attending our network and learning events.
