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.
