Budget 2008-09 - Ready for Growth
Did You Know?

Community-based residential and day program services for people with intellectual disabilities received a $2.4 million expansion in the 2008-09 budget.

Community Living is a Division of the Ministry of Social Services. The main objective of the Community Living Division is to ensure physical, emotional, and social needs are met and that people with intellectual disabilities live and function as independently as possible within their own communities. Support and information for parents and guardians of children with intellectual disabilities include a Respite Program.  

Staff of the Community Living Division deliver programs and services primarily through an extensive system of community-based social, residential, vocational and early childhood agencies. They work in partnership with provincially-based representatives and advocacy organizations. The Division is a signator of a three-way partnership agreement between the Saskatchewan Association of Rehabiliation Centres and the Saskatchewan Association for Community Living.
