Using the limited resources of the time, these families strove to start their own school and develop services for their sons and daughters ensuring they would have the best quality of life.This founding spirit carries on with the efforts of today's courageous parents who continue to defy the status quo in seeking the best possible quality of life for their children.Our CommunitiesCommunity Living York South provides support services to people and families that live within our catchment area of Southern York Region, which includes the communities of: Kleinburg, Gormley, Maple, Markham, Richmond Hill, Thornhill, Vaughan, Whitchurch-Stouffville.Are you looking for support services, but live outside of Southern York Region?Find a Community Living association near you: www.communitylivingontario.ca/find
