Celebrating 70 Years

Celebrate our 70th Anniversary

Join Us!

This September, Community Living North Bay celebrates 70 years of service to members of our community. Join us at 1:00 p.m. on September 12th to celebrate our history and success in creating an inclusive community for people with intellectual disabilities.

Before Community Living North Bay, people with disabilities lived in isolation. Family members of a child with a disability had zero resources, and many were hidden away or sent to institutions away from home where many were abused, abandoned and forgotten. On September 7th, 1954, the first day of the first program offered by Community Living North Bay (formerly known as the Association for Retarded Children)

Now, 70 years later, Community Living North Bay is part of a global movement advocating for individuals and their families living with intellectual disabilities. Together, we are working to build a better and more inclusive community for people with disabilities.
