🎙️ On November 12, 2025, Brad Saunders, CEO, CLTO, and John Tory, Chair of the CLTO’s Patron’s Council joined Vassy Kapelos on radio NEWSTALK 1010 to discuss innovative housing for people with intellectual disabilities, the new Federal Build Canada Homes initiative.

More than 53,000 adults with intellectual disabilities in Ontario are still waiting for vital services. Decades of delay have left too many at risk of homelessness, exploitation, and poverty. This cannot continue. Sign the petition today at https://t.co/XgpIqazmjY.
