The Saskatchewan
Association for Community Living (SACL) is a non-profit organization
that ensures citizens who have an intellectual disability are full,
active and valued members of society, and that they have worthwhile
opportunities and a range of choices in all aspects of life.
Our
history is a testimony to the hard work of families and volunteers
over the past five decades. Their belief in a better life for everyone
in the community still fuels what we do today. The SACL works on
a variety of fronts to see that these elements are fully present
in people's lives:
- Citizenship:
Rights and freedoms are respected and protected, and people have
the opportunity to meet obligations as participating and contributing
citizens.
- Membership:
People with intellectual disabilities belong to families, friends
and neighbourhoods, with full access to and participation in schools,
places of work, and the community.
- Self-Determination:
People have an active and decisive voice in making decisions that
affect their lives.
Building a
life that is rewarding, enriching and stimulating is the same dream
for any citizen. |
