News

We were saddened to hear of the passing of Jean Vanier. As the founder of L'Arche, he worked to create a more inclusive world for people with developmental disabilities. In his writings and Massey Lectures he shared his vision for creating a world based on peace, inclusion and community.

Read his works, including Finding Peace and Made for Happiness in accessible formats from our collection. Highly recommended.
