The Community Oak Park provides bi-monthly meetings for families to share resources and support. Meetings are for family members, friends and volunteers that want to support their loved ones with developmental disabilities. Our meetings are held the last Wednesday of September, November, January, March and May.

At the monthly meetings, we share information, provide support to one another, host a variety of speakers, workshops and work on home and social solutions for our children.  

The Community Oak Park has community affiliations and partnerships with Community Living Oakville, Durham Association for Family Resources and Support (DFR), and the Oakville Community Foundation. Funding is provided by the Ministry of Children, Community and Social Services as well as The Ontario Trillium Foundation. We promote volunteerism by building natural relationships in the community where our loved ones are contributing in meaningful ways. 

Our families reach out to support each other. To talk to other families, ask questions or be kept up to date on TCOP activities, please join our Facebook group “The Community Oak Park Support Group”.

The Oak Park Neighbourhood Centre partnered with us to undertake a research project with funding from the Ontario Trillium Foundation to give adults with developmental disabilities a voice in their community. We had an Inclusive Community Engagement Coordinator who surveyed and interviewed individuals with developmental disabilities to understand their community goals and aspirations and they will work with community groups to assess challenges and opportunities that exist.

Find here our Explore Dreams 2019 Report, a community seed research project for and with adults with developmental disabilities done in partnership with The Oak Park Neighbourhood Centre.  Thank you to the Ontario Trillium Foundation for providing the financial support to make this research opportunity possible which gives adults with a developmental disability a voice.
