Inclusion support

 

Recreation Services encourages and supports the participation of individuals with disabilities in diverse recreational opportunities, at a level of participation suitable to their ability and program of choice. If an individual requires support to participate in a program, a caregiver/guardian can accompany the individual into a program free of charge. 
 

To determine the eligibility criteria for a Support Person Access, you must complete an assessment with the Recreation Supervisor, Inclusion and Support Services at 905.832.2377 ext. 7405 or email inclusion@vaughan.ca and provide supporting documentation.
