Posted by June the 19th is Inclusive Recreation day!
What is inclusive recreation?
It’s all about making sure everyone feels welcome, valued, and empowered to take part. By breaking down barriers, we create a sense of belonging for everyone, no matter our differences.
We all play a huge role in promoting inclusive recreation. Here are some great ways to be inclusive:
1. Welcoming Spaces: Let’s make sure that facilities are accessible to everyone, no matter their abilities.
2. Fun for Everyone: Offer a wide variety of recreational activities and programs that cater to different interests and abilities.
3. Respect and Communication: Let’s empower citizens with training in inclusive practices and effective communication.
4. Engage with the Community: Let’s actively listen to and engage with the disability community to ensure that recreation programs and services meet the needs of everyone.
5. Accessibility for All: Implement accommodations to make sure everyone can enjoy our recreational offerings.
Inclusive recreation goes beyond equal access and opportunities; it’s about building a community where everyone feels included, healthy, and connected.
By embracing our differences and creating environments where everyone can join in, we build a more inclusive and vibrant community for all!
