L'Arche Canada
Quebec,
Canada
 L'Arche is an international organization of faith-based communities creating homes and day programs with people who have developmental disabilities.
As a service organization, L'Arche espouses a "community model" of living, rather than a medical or social service model of care.
As a faith-based organization L'Arche recognizes the spiritual and religious needs and aspirations of its members, and respects those who have no spiritual or religious affiliation. Our community and faith life inspire us to be open to people of differing intellectual capacity, social origin,religion, race, and culture.
At L'Arche, people with disabilities, and those who assist them, live together and are equally responsible for the life of their home and community.
The administration of L'Arche Canada is based in the Montreal office. Jean Brissette is the office administrator. An office assistant, Annick Chauvette works with him. This office supports all the work related to the Zone of L'Arche Canada--the unity and governance of communities, the Solidarity program, and the vision for extending L'Arche in Canada.
