L'Arche Canada

Atlantic Region

There are seven L'Arche Communities in three provinces in the Atlantic Region:

Antigonish, Cape Breton, Halifax, and Wolfville N.S., Saint John and Fredericton N.B., and Avalon N.L.

The L’Arche communities in Canada provide a range of individualized supports that help each person live a meaningful life, contribute their gifts, and achieve their goals. These supports are provided within a unique life-sharing model where persons with intellectual disabilities and those who support them share daily life, learning, growing, and celebrating together. Relationships of mutual care that bridge differences can be transformative and a pathway to meaningful belonging and inclusion.

The Mission that unifies L’Arche is rooted within the unique culture, history, and networks of each local community.

The communities vary in size, history and local flavour, yet they share the same spirit of welcome, joy and celebration. The members share in decision-making, chores, activities and the life of the community as they desire and are able.

Each L’Arche community is rooted in its local culture. The members participate in and contribute to their neighbourhood, town or city.
