Community Living Idol Fundraiser, Monday 04 June, 2018
Community Living Now on Main Street, Gravenhurst
A Message from Board Chair, Gord Haugh – Yes, as everyone on our staff knows, change is not a sometime thing anymore. Change is part of how we do our jobs. And the move in Gravenhurst is reflective of that change. As our program needs and the needs of the
people we serve change, we have all come to understand that “we always did it that way” is no longer a valid reason to keep doing what needs to change: Read the CLSM December 2017 Newsletter Here

Community Living South Muskoka – Standing Up for Your Ability to Choose
Career Opportunities
Morrison Meadows
In 2007 Community Living South Muskoka purchased a 35 acre farm on the outskirts of Bracebridge called Morrison Meadows. We wanted to create employment opportunities for the individuals we serve, and become an outdoor recreational space for our community to enjoy and see individuals with a developmental disability as capable, friendly, teachers, partners and community leaders.
Morrison Meadows is intended to enrich the lives of Muskokans and visitors to the District by providing opportunities to enjoy farming, nature, and outdoor recreation activities. To learn more visit the Morrison Meadows website or watch our YouTube video
