Inclusion Services in Borden

Community Recreation is an established recreation service provider that actively practices integration and inclusion, while embracing the principles of High Five. Recreation provides children with an opportunity to meet new friends, learn new skills and discover new things, all in a supportive environment. An Inclusion Facilitator is a support person for the program instructor, who provides one-on-one assistance to a participant, ensuring that our programs are accessible for all families with mild to moderate needs.  

We encourage families to contact a Recreation Coordinator at 705-424-1200 extension 1373 to discuss participation in a recreation program. The child’s abilities will be discussed to find the best program fit. External agencies are often contacted to share assessments of the child once the guardian has signed the consent form to release personal information with the agency.
