The Down Syndrome Association of Toronto's mission is to support and empower individuals with Down syndrome and their families across the GTA. Through programs and resources, we are able to advocate, raise awareness, and promote integration and participation within an inclusive community. We aim to achieve this goal through support groups, sharing resources, education and research, recreational programs, community events and outings, and more. 

Our principles are:

• all persons with Down syndrome have the same civil and human rights as other Canadian citizens
• all persons with Down syndrome have the right to be raised at home with family
• all persons with Down syndrome are entitled to quality medical care, without prejudice, including newborns
• all persons with Down syndrome have the right to support and services as needed without prejudice
