In 1954, a group of concerned parents and friends sought alternatives to placing children with intellectual disabilities in an institution. They believed these children could live fulfilling, satisfying lives at home with their families and become an integral part of the community. These parents formed the Thornhill and District Association for Retarded Children which later became York South Association for Community Living and then Community Living York South. The words “Community Living” reflect the growing understanding that the right to live a fully integrated life within the community - to live, to go to school, to work, to enjoy recreation and to be active in retirement -belongs to all.
