Foundry Books and Novelties<\/h2><\/div><\/div>\n\n

At Community Living Association Lanark County (CLA), we believe that true community means everyone feels seen, valued, and included.<\/em><\/p>\n

Since 1965, we\u2019ve walked alongside people with intellectual disabilities and their families across Lanark County\u2014offering support that opens doors to housing, employment, connection, and a life rich in meaning. Every person we support brings their own strengths, and with the right supports in place, those strengths shine.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n
