CCLS is on the move and we need your help!

The Calgary Community Living Society "CCLS" has provided leadership to families who have children with a developmental disability since 1984. Though it is not "always" intentional, we find ourselves in a period in which the power to define what a service will be like is very much in the hands of the people who run our systems more so than most ordinary people including service users, families, friends and interested people in the community realize. We began 24 years ago creating services in reaction to the dominant institutionalized services of that day and we find that yet again these services have evolved into another version of the institutional human service hierarchies.

CCLS believes that consumers of services, families and others close to them are and must be the core designers of directors of the own supports because again and again systems have turned against the interests of families. CCLS knows that there are many good people wasting away within very poor service systems. CCLS wants to change this for everyone - we want to put the horse in front of the cart where it belongs.

Please call Jim at CCLS: 245-4665, to join the discussion.
