On Sat July 10, 2010 Community Living Campbellford/Brighton hosted their second annual golf tournament at Pine Ridge Golf Course. There were 14 teams in total and from all reports a great time was had by everyone who attended. After a day of golfing the many prizes were handed out to those that were lucky and won. All prizes had been generously donated by many businesses and community partners within our communities. After the prizes were handed out a tasteful dinner including steak or chicken was served. A day of fun resulted in raising $2600 for the Outcome Sponsorship fund! A big THANK YOU to all that donated to the tournament and the CLCB Fundraising Committee for another successful tournament…Looking forward to the third annual tournament already!

Yard Sale Benefits two Community Organizations

EMC News – Proceeds from a yard sale last weekend helped support two very different causes in the community. The event was a partnership between the St. John Ambulance Therapy Dogs and Community Living.

“You really build a bond, you really shouldn’t get that close, but you do. We get attached to a lot of people.”

“We run into some sad stories sometimes, a lot of good ones but some sad ones,” she added. “We do a lot of crying.”

Grade 8 students from Kent Public School donated their time to pack and help deliver 380 lunches for the “Appetite for Awareness” campaign at Community Living.

EMC News- Campbellford – It was just a few weeks ago when Community Living Campbellford-Brighton were in a celebratory mood after 50 years of inspiring possibilities in Northumberland County.

“We believe, as our founder did, that people with intellectual disabilities have the right to live in and participate in their community,” said executive director Nancy Brown in her address to the crowd of well-wishers commemorating the milestone event.

But last week, it was time to roll up their sleeves and get back to the business at hand.

By bevdunlay, on January 8th, 2010

In 1960, our founding parent dreamed that her daughter would live in an inclusive community at a time when doctors recommended provincial institutions. We believe, as our founder did, that people with intellectual disabilities have the right to live in and participate in their community. The year 2009, in fact, saw the closure of the last of the provincial institutions.

2010 brings our 50th Anniversary…a milestone marker of providing half a century of quality support! We also are proud to have achieved of a decade of maintaining non-mandated CQL accreditation at the highest possible level. Empowered by our mission statement “To provide support and services to people that promote opportunities for personal growth within their community”, we have expanded services across our region. Our Board of Directors has committed to fulfill this mission without geographical boundaries for all who request services from our agency.

We have an exciting lineup of 50th Anniversary Events planned including a formal Gala booked for April 30/10 at the Campbellford Curling Club. Firm dates for some of our festivities are yet to be determined…please keep an eye on our website for more details.
