L’Arche Calgary is a welcoming community where people with and without intellectual disabilities share life, work, and growth in an environment of friendship and belonging. Since 1973, we have provided supportive housing, day programs, and personalized care, fostering mutual respect, dignity, and inclusion. Our five homes, Tamarack Day Program, and Supported Independent Living Program empower individuals with disabilities to thrive. As part of the L’Arche Federation, we are united by a common mission to celebrate the unique gifts of every person and to build a world where belonging and community are at the heart of everything we do.

I interviewed my dad on video in his final weeks. When I asked about his work and finding meaning through helping others, he responded, “I don’t think you can be focused on, ‘Oh gee, I want to make a difference.’ It has to be spontaneous. If it’s not…there’s some kind of egotistical thing going on. That’s a red flag. You hope you impact people on the deepest level you are capable of at the time. Sometimes you hit it, sometimes you don’t. You’re trying.
