Inclusive Recreation Resource Program

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.
The Goal of the Inclusive Recreation Program is to take down the barriers that prevent people with special needs to
participate in recreation Programs.
