We wish to inform you that as of May 23rd 2026 at 12:01am, Community Living Oakville was in a legal strike position and employees have commenced strike action on Monday May 25th.
Understandably, this news may be very concerning.

Our Program Managers are on standby to address any questions that families and caregivers may have. Please do not hesitate to reach out to them.
These are challenging times for all parties. We value and keenly recognize the essential contributions of our Direct Support Workers.

We are hopeful that we will be able to reach a fair and sustainable agreement within our funding reality.
