Who we are
On December 16, 1955, a group of dedicated parents founded what is now called Community Living Victoria (CLV). Today, as the largest non-profit community living service provider on Vancouver Island, Community Living Victoria provides a range of support services to children, youth and adults with intellectual disabilities and their families.
Our work is guided by our values, experience and history and draws from strong roots in the community. Community Living Victoria recognizes the rights of everyone to have a full range of life choices, including access to education, affordable and appropriate housing, leisure options, gainful employment and participation in the community. A healthy community encourages the involvement of everyone.
Executive Director’s Message
CLV is off to a great start in 2025, We have completed our Strategic Planning in the fall of 2024 and are in the process of finalizing our strategic goals which will set the direction for the organization for the next 3 years. These will be posted soon. Part of this process includes looking at our Mission Statement, our Vision for the Future and our Values. With feedback from all stakeholders, I am pleased to Present CLV’s New Mission, Vision and Values. We are excited about the future and confident that these new strategic initiatives will pave the way to ensure we are providing supports for people exactly how they would like to receive them.
Our Reach for the Sun Campaign is on now!
Dear Friend of CLV,
We are excited to share that our “Reach for the Sun” campaign is once again underway! For the past 38 years, this biannual fundraising effort has been making a profound difference in the lives of the individuals we support at Community Living Victoria (CLV). Thanks to the generosity of donors like you, we’ve raised over $180,000, helping people live more independently, access enriching experiences, and make ends meet.
Your support has made it possible for individuals to attend summer camps, put food on the table, and access much-needed personal supports. These essential contributions help create opportunities for inclusion, independence, and improved well-being.
Today, we ask you to once again “Reach for the Sun” by donating to this meaningful campaign. Your gift directly empowers individuals with diverse abilities to live their best lives, ensuring they have access to the resources and support they need.
Please consider making a donation using the donate button below or mailing a cheque to our office at 3861 Cedar Hill Cross Road, Victoria BC V8P 2M7.
Every contribution, no matter the size, makes a lasting impact.
Thank you for your continued generosity and for being a vital part of our caring community. Together, we can help everyone shine brightly.
With heartfelt gratitude,
Rob Taggart
President, CLV Foundation Board of Directors

CARF Accreditation
Community Living Victoria completed our 7th Accreditation survey in June of 2024. We welcomed 5 surveyors back 4 in person and one virtually. It was a great success, we did not receive any recommendations and have received another 3 year accreditation award. The surveyors heard from several individuals and families how confident people feel with our services. Words like “trust”, “acceptance”, “a place of belonging” and “safe” were mentioned by many people interviewed. This speaks to the ongoing commitment we have at CLV to the people we support to live as independently as possible and to receive services in a way that works best for them. We will receive the actual report from CARF in approximately 6 weeks and it will be shared with everyone on the website. A sincere THANK YOU to everyone for all the work that went into preparing for the survey which reflects our ongoing commitment to the people we support by delivering exceptional services.
