The Active Living Centre is part of the LIFE Program (Leisure in Fun Environments). It is funded by the Children’s Rehabilitation Foundation. The goal of the Active Living Centre is to promote active living and healthy lifestyles. We have a variety of equipment that families can borrow to help their child be more active. We help make it easier for children with disabilities and their families to increase their recreation and leisure activities at home, school and in the community. Families and professionals can borrow equipment for several weeks at a time.

- Adapted and specialized bikes, trikes, and trailers
