Paul's Story: A Life of Joy and Connection
Welcome to "Community Chats," bringing you stories and insights from the heart of Community Living Toronto. From frontline champions, advocates, and volunteers to the people we support, their families and friends, together we explore the different experiences, celebrate success stories, share memorable moments, and discuss pressing challenges and new developments in the sector.
Today, we have a chat between Brad Saunders, CEO of Community Living Toronto, and Mark Ayles, supporter of Community Living Toronto and one of our 75th Anniversary Storytellers. In this episode, Mark shares The inspiring life and journey of his brother Paul and their family's connection to Community Living Toronto and how their neighbourhood became a mini community for Paul in supporting and caring for him. They also discuss the impact of respite programs for parents and caregivers, providing essential support and relief, and significance of including people with disabilities in all aspects of society.
