Canadian Association of Independent Living Centres (CAILC)

Independent Living Resource Centres (ILRC) are run by people with disabilities. These community-based centres promote full integration and participation of people with all types of disabilities. Each ILRC provides peer support, individual advocacy, independent living skills development, research and demonstration as well as consumer-validated information and referral to anyone who needs assistance. In the case of a traveller with a disability, a local ILRC could provide information on accessible hotels, medical equipment rentals, accessible transportation, contact information for hiring attendants from a service provider and much more. The following is a list of ILRCs in Ontario:
