Ability Awareness: Help teachers, peers and parents learn about the capabilities of students with physical disabilities by taking part in experiential assemblies. Lead by local athletes or Paralympians, assemblies can demonstrate adapted sport and recreation activities and allow students to learn about the lives of athletes with physical disabilities. All programs come with a disability sport themed curriculum that allows teachers to extend ability awareness concepts into the classroom.

Equipment Rental: If you are interested in getting involved in sport and recreation but do not have the equipment that you need, rent it. Daily and weekly rates are available. Rental is available to school districts or groups.
