Administrative history
L’Arche Daybreak is a L’Arche community located in Richmond Hill, Ontario, Canada. The original L’Arche home was founded by Jean Vanier in France in 1964, as a community for those with intellectual disabilities and their assistants to live together and provide support for each other. Since then, L’Arche communities, like L’Arche Daybreak, have been created around the world, adding to a large network of communities under the banner of L’Arche Internationale.
At L’Arche Daybreak, individuals with intellectual disabilities, called core members, live with assistants at several group homes. As a community, L’Arche Daybreak supports personal growth and creativity, all while developing strong friendships and support groups between community members. Daybreak is the oldest L’Arche community in North America, and was founded in 1969. Today, Daybreak consists of eight homes located in Richmond Hill, just north of Toronto, Ontario.
