About:

In January 2022, Tri-Alliance Shared Services became a separate Not-for- Profit Agency, supporting the work of three Community Living Agencies as we prepare for sector reform, Journey to Belonging.

The three Community Living Agencies Community Living Owen Sound and District (CLOSD), Community Living Walkerton and District (CLWD), and Bruce Peninsula Association for Community Living (BPACL), are three distinct service delivery agencies who contract their management and back office services from Tri-Alliance Shared Services. Through the combined resources, we are better equipped to provide excellent management and administrative services.

As we further prepare for the upcoming changes of our sector, we are in the midst of transforming the way we work in the vital support of people with intellectual disabilities in our communities.
