Community Impact
We collaborate with many community members and organizations in the Greater Edmonton Area and across ¾ÅÐãÖ±²¥. Whether it is leading school groups in adapted programming, working with recreation centres to complete AIMFree Audits or delivering engaging workshops and seminars about a variety of topics, we create impact in our community.

We believe that sharing our insights and perspectives is important, which means we have developed a number of resources to help others facilitate adapted physical activity within their own communities.
