Welcome to "Community Chats," bringing you stories and insights from the heart of Community Living Toronto. From Developmental Services champions, advocates, and volunteers to the people we support, their families and friends, together we explore the different experiences, celebrate success stories, share memorable moments, and discuss pressing challenges and new developments in the sector.

Today, we have a chat between Brad Saunders, CEO of Community Living Toronto, and Mike Tasevski, parent and member of LIGHTS Board of Directors. In this episode, Mike shares his journey and career path that led him to the Developmental Services sector. They also discuss the importance of future planning, key challenges and turning points in planning support for people with intellectual disabilities, and how connection and belonging help build an inclusive community.
