Spirit of Life was established in June 2004 with the help of the late MPP Mr. Tony Wong, and support from the community, families, and professionals. We became a chartiable organization in 2008. Focusing on the GTA, Spirit of Life works to build bridges between families, special needs service providers, and government departments. It also serves the broader community through public education on a range of developmental disability topics.
