The Yellowknife Association for Community Living (YKACL) is a non-profit organization that supports families, children, youth, and adults with intellectual disabilities so that they are included and are able to contribute to community life in Yellowknife. Inclusion activities are part of all our programming and the focus of the Association and we often forget to celebrate the daily events that promote the inclusion of people with intellectual disabilities in our community and the signs that our community cares and supports inclusion.
