Happening this weekend! 🌈

Brantford Pride in the Park is taking place this Saturday, June 20 from 12:00 PM to 5:00 PM at Mohawk Park.

This community event includes drag performances, local musicians, BBQ, vendors, and opportunities to gather, celebrate, and connect.

Community Living Brant’s Unity in Diversity Committee is proud to share local Pride events that support inclusion, visibility, and belonging across our community.

Everyone deserves to feel respected, supported, and welcomed as they are.

Today, members of Community Living Brant had the opportunity to attend an engaging presentation by Andrew Gurza on sexual health, relationships, and meaningful support.

His honest, thought-provoking presentation encouraged important conversations about inclusion, dignity, autonomy, and the right of all people to access information and support related to sexuality and relationships.

Community Living Brant was proud to attend alongside several developmental service organizations from across the region as we continue to learn, collaborate, and strengthen our commitment to person-centred support.

Thank you, Andrew, for sharing your knowledge, experiences, and insights with our community. PersonCentredSupport CommunityPartners

At Community Living Brant, inclusion means people are respected for who they are, supported to be themselves, and welcomed in the places where life happens — at work, at home, in relationships, and throughout the community.

May is here, and so is Community Living Month 💙💚

Join Community Living Brant in celebrating and building a more inclusive community alongside people with developmental disabilities and their families.

Inclusion doesn’t stop at awareness—it’s something we build together, every day.

What does it mean to be a volunteer?

A volunteer is someone who gives their time, energy, and skills to support others and strengthen their community 💙💚

At Community Living Brant, our volunteers do just that.

Throughout this week, we’ve highlighted just some of the ways volunteers contribute across our organization—from leadership and oversight, person-centered practices, upholding rights, supporting sustainability, and connecting directly with people and families.

Your contributions are an important part of our work, helping us stay grounded in our mission, strengthen our accreditation efforts, and most importantly, support people to live the life they choose.

Interested in getting involved? We’d love to hear from you.
