  • Author(s): Jake Reid
  • Organization: Recreation New Brunswick (http://www.recreationnb.ca/)
  • Date Published: January 1, 2009

Recreation Your Way is a program that has been designed and delivered by the Inclusive Recreation Committee of Recreation New Brunswick/Active Living Alliance for Canadians with a Disability NB. It is a one-day event for people with disabilities, their friends and families, to participate in various recreation, sports and leisure activities. During the event, activities on various inclusive recreation activities, some with specialized equipment, are offered. These sessions allow registrants with disabilities, and their friends and family, to try new activities and/or find new ways to participate in favourite activities from the past. This resource guide is meant as an educational tool to help plan, promote and deliver a Recreation Your Way event in communities.

Numerous professional practices designed to facilitate inclusive community recreation have been developed, field tested, and disseminated. Despite major federal disability rights legislation and broad dissemination of these inclusive practices, they are not commonly practiced in most community recreation agencies. This article presents results of one key component of a comprehensive, qualitative research project designed to study best practices that result in inclusive and sustainable community recreation at administrative, programmatic, and consumer levels. The focus of this article is on administrative-level approaches used within agencies.
