Inclusion Canada, formerly the Canadian Association for Community Living, is a non-profit organization founded in 1958[1] to assist in training and socialization of people with intellectual disabilities, then known as Mental Retardation.

History

The organization was founded as the "Canadian Association for Retarded Children".[2] In 1969, the name was changed, to "Canadian Association for the Mentally Retarded". The current name was adopted in 1985.[3]

In 1963, the organization established the "Canadian John F. Kennedy Memorial Fund for Retarded Children".[4] The money raised went to the organization and was used to fund research.[5]

A "Canadian Retarded Children's Week" was also established in 1964 for fundraising, to run from May 6 to 16. The theme was "Flowers of Hope".[6] Cosmos seeds were mailed out as a part of fundraising efforts.[7]

The organization was a proponent of Deinstitutionalisation.[8]

There are branches and subbranches in all Canadian provinces. In 1972, "L'institut National Canadien Francis" merged with the organization to provide French-language services.[9]

During the 1970s NBCAMR operated sheltered workshops in Lindsay, New Brunswick,[10] and other small communities. They were later closed when the organizations goals shifted.

The organization was involved in the Infant K case in 1985,[11] the Eve case,[12][13] and others involving involuntary contraceptive sterilization.

The organization rebranded from the "Canadian Association for Community Living" to Inclusion Canada on September 14, 2020.[14]

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the organization received a $416,883 grant from the Public Health Agency of Canada's Immunization Partnership Fund to increase uptake of COVID-19 vaccines among people with intellectual disabilities and their families.[15]
