L'Arche is a unique vision of care giving and community building that fosters inclusion, understanding and belonging.

In nearly 200 small homes and day settings across Canada, caregivers and volunteers from diverse cultures and backgrounds share deeply committed relationships with people with developmental disabilities.

L'Arche is an international organization of faith-based communities creating homes and day programs with people who have developmental disabilities.

As a service organization, L'Arche espouses a "community model" of living, rather than a medical or social service model of care.

At L'Arche, people with disabilities, and those who assist them, live together and are equally responsible for the life of their home and community.

Join us on September 14th, when Zoel Breau, L'Arche Canada's National Coordinator, joins us to share how this movement for change fosters inclusion, understanding, and belonging.
