The Goal of the Inclusive Recreation Program is
to take down the barriers that prevent people
with special needs to participate in recreation
Programs.
All people need to be treated with respect.
Dignity of risk, age appropriateness, personal
satisfaction and freedom of choice are
fundamental to the work we do.
