Community Living CK re-accredited for four years

Community Living Chatham-Kent (CLCK) has announced that it has earned a four-year re-accreditation, as well as a Seal of Sustainability.

Re-accreditation confirms that an organization operates at a standard of quality, governance, and accountability by bringing in external reviewers.

"We are very pleased to have been granted a four-year re-accreditation, thrilled to be the first organization accredited under the newly revisited 2025 FOCUS standards, and honoured to have received a Seal of Sustainability,” said Ron Coristine, CLCK Executive Director.

Through the process, the Community Living organization was also awarded a Seal of Sustainability, which recognizes that the centre has been accredited for three cycles.

According to a statement from CLCK, the executive director of FOCUS Accreditation, Cheryl Whiteman, commended the organization.

The re-accreditation is effective from December 2025 through December 2029.
