MISSION &VISION.
Championing Inclusion and Protecting Interests
Our goal at The Foundation is to ‘fill the gaps’ where public funding falls short, supporting individuals with developmental disabilities and their families.
Our Mission
We exist to promote, support, and protect the status and interests of people with developmental disabilities, providing funding to enhance their quality of life.
Our Vision
We aim to preserve the legacy of our grassroots movement and strive to make our community more inclusive. We envision a future where every individual, regardless of their ability, is involved in their community, leading a fulfilling life with adequate supports.
Land Acknowledgement
The Community Living Thunder Bay Foundation respectfully acknowledges and honours the rightful stewards of the lands on which we live and work that are the traditional lands of the Anishinabek Nation and the traditional territory of Fort William First Nation, signatory to the Robinson-Superior Treaty of 1850. We also acknowledge the contributions of the Métis peoples and the other First Nations.
We honour and acknowledge the Indigenous peoples who are with us today. We honour the ancestors who lost their lives due to colonialism. We honour future generations.
In order to no longer silence and erase Indigenous voices, we strive to not only acknowledge the harm done by colonization, but also learn about Indigenous peoples, their struggle and their strength, and financially and emotionally support their wellness.
In solidarity and through action, CLTB is working towards creating pathways to protect, preserve, and fight for justice and equitable treatment.
To support future generations, please consider donating to The Thunder Bay Indigenous Friendship Centre, Matawa Educational Center, and Dennis Franklin Cromarty High School.
