L’Arche Canada: L’Arche Canada Meeting Ground: http://www.larchecommons.ca L’Arche International: http://www.larche.org Jean Vanier website: http://www.jean-vanier.org Henri Nouwen: http://www.henrinouwen.org Aging and Disability: http://www.aging-and-disability.org For young adults with an intellectual disability: http://www.ibelong.ca Our community has grown over the years, and today we welcome 28 people with a developmental disability who are living in our six houses and two supported-living apartments, along with approximately 20 assistants, many of whom have come from other countries to experience L’Arche and make Winnipeg their home. Four of our houses, our apartments, and our Office are in the east end of Winnipeg (Transcona) and are all within walking distance of each other. Our two other homes are closer to downtown Winnipeg (in Windsor Park and St. Boniface). Jean Vanier describes the foundation of L’Arche in the following video: Winnipeg is a city of approximately 670, 000 people, and is the longitudinal centre of Canada. More than 60% of Manitoba’s population live in the capital city, which is the 7th largest municipality in Canada. We belong to the Western Canada Region of L’Arche, along with other L’Arche Communities in Saskatoon, Edmonton, Calgary, Lethbridge, Comox and Vancouver. Our Region is part of the L’Arche Canada Zone in the International Federation of L’Arche which is comprised of communities located in 36 different countries. Many people, inspired by Jean Vanier’s vision, are interested in hearing about L’Arche Winnipeg and L’Arche Tova Café. People are often looking for ways to live out their faith in their daily lives and L’Arche communities provide unique examples of how this can be embodied on a practical level. Being able to tell our stories in the larger community is also critical as we seek to recruit new assistants, volunteers and sponsors both in Winnipeg and around the world.
