May is Community Living Month!
May is here, and that means it’s time for Community Living Month! Community Living Month is an annual awareness campaign that recognizes and celebrates the accomplishments of the community living movement. This year’s theme is “Still in This Together”, in honour of the perseverance and resilience shown by those in our movement as we continue to navigate the COVID-19 pandemic.
Over the next month, we’ll be giving you the opportunity to participate by sharing your best success stories and brightest moments, with a new theme each week.
We look forward to celebrating #CLMonth alongside you!
