On March 5, 2026, Community Living Toronto proudly hosted its first Women’s Day event, a powerful gathering dedicated to leadership, self-care, and inclusion. ✨🙌

Guided by the theme “Lift Yourself. Lift Each Other. Because Self-care Begins with the Caregiver,” the event created space for connection, reflection, and celebration. 🎉

Participants engaged in meaningful conversations on women’s leadership in care-based sectors and explored wellness and sustainability through a self-care workshop by Marlyn Harry and Julianna Harry from Grey Couch Counselling and Psychotherapy. The event also featured storytelling and traditional music that celebrated resilience and community. 🎶

🎤 A special highlight of the day was a panel discussion featuring Annette Wing, Natalia Wiercioch, Colleen Broadhurst, and Christine-Lisa Denis, who shared personal stories, practical strategies, and advice drawn from their experiences. 💬

Thank you to everyone who joined us! Special thanks to Community Living Toronto’s Women’s Inclusion Network for organizing this event and making it so inspiring. Together, we continue building a community where everyone belongs. 💙💚

Happy International Women’s Day! 💙💚

March 8, 2026, is a time to celebrate the strength, resilience, and achievements of women around the globe. Today, we honour the leaders, advocates, innovators, and changemakers who continue to shape our communities and inspire future generations.

Women are at the heart of the Developmental Services sector. Your compassion, dedication, and leadership make a meaningful difference every single day, and our work would not be possible without you.

Thank you for all that you do, today and always. 🙌

A few months ago, some of our LIGHTS Leaders had a blast at Community Rocks — Community Living Toronto’s major fundraising event.

It was an amazing night celebrating inclusion, community, and possibility. We were proud to be there, especially knowing that a portion of the funds raised support LIGHTS families directly.

We are already looking forward to !

Special thank you to LIGHTS leaders Brandon, James, and Bianca who partied it up at Community Rocks 2025!

🎙️ Episode 12 of the Community Chats Podcast is LIVE!

In our last episode of Community Chats Season 3, Deanna Strazzella, Senior Director, Specialized Services and Mita Hans, Support Worker, join Brad Saunders, CEO of Community Living Toronto, for a special conversation on leadership, authenticity, and the impact of women in the developmental services sector.

Deanna and Mita reflect on their journeys and the early experiences that have shaped how they show up as colleagues and leaders, and what it means to work in this sector. Their conversation explores creating space for people to be themselves at work, the changing nature of caregiving, and the importance of inclusive environments in strengthening the support we provide to people and families.

They also share personal insights for young women and remind us that leadership is not defined by titles, but by actions, empathy, and the willingness to lift others along the way.

💬 Tune in for a thoughtful discussion on belonging, changing roles and the everyday leadership we celebrate this International Women’s Day.
