Welcome to L'Arche Daybreak!
L'Arche Daybreak in Richmond Hill, Ontario welcomes men and women with intellectual disabilities and the assistants who live, work, and learn with them. People are drawn to our community from all over the world seeking a different way of life and bringing with them a wide range of beliefs, backgrounds, and qualifications. Many local friends participate in our community life as volunteers. L'Arche Daybreak is a dynamic example of how people of different intellectual capacity, social origin and culture, can live together.
