Remember
for
Richmond
Steveston
Mr
Speaker
I
rise
today
to
speak
about
a
Richmond
organization
that
is
making
lasting
positive
change
in
the
community
for
more
than
35
years.

Society
for
community
living.
Our
SCL
has
provided
exceptional
programs
and
services
for
infants,
children
and
adults
with
developmental
disabilities.
A
Our
SCL
is
Richmond's
largest,
not
non-for-profit
social
service
provider
and
helps
over
1,000
people
with
developmental
disabilities
each
year
to
participate
and
contribute
fully
as
value
community
members.
Their
programs
offer
a
continuum
of
care
that
allows
the
individuals
and
their
family
members
to
dream
plan,
learn
and
grow.
