Welcome to Federation CJA's Community Inclusion Resources Portal. This portal was developed to guide community members towards some of our partner organizations and other local community hubs that are providing diverse virtual and/or in-person programmatic offerings, and psychosocial support services for people living with disabilities and their families.
Recognizing that access to resources is key to supporting a welcoming and inclusive community- we continue to innovate and adapt to promote access to information so that families of all abilities continue to participate meaningfully in Montreal Jewish life. Together we are helping to build a more inclusive community for all of us to benefit.
Disclaimer: This dynamic and evolving portal represents a sub-sample of resources and is not inclusive of all resources available in the Montreal community at any given time. Federation CJA is not in a position to recommend or endorse any resources that are not directly affiliated or supported by our organization. We strongly suggest that readers research these resources to determine if they are appropriate for the care of their child and meet their specific needs.
Should you have any questions, Federation CJA will be here to assist and help guide you. Please feel free to reach out to Federation CJA's Manager of Community Inclusion, Jodi Toledano at [email protected] or at 514-734-1639.
