Best Practices for Disability Inclusion in Recreation with Taryn Barry
January 14, 2026 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm
People living with disabilities are less likely to meet physical activity guidelines than people without disabilities. Yet even low levels of physical activity have
significant positive health effects. Moreover, best practices are not readily available for municipalities across Canada to refer to when developing nonstructured and structured physical activity and recreation opportunities for persons with disabilities and their caregivers. Therefore, the Active Living
Alliance for Canadians with a Disability and the Canadian Disability Participation Project 2.0 consulted with municipal leaders, persons with disabilities,
caregivers, researchers, and reviewed academic and grey literature to identify and develop eight best practice areas.
This webinar will provide an overview of the best practices and ‘how-to’ strategies. Linkages to the Municipal Guide to Promising and Best Practices for Disability Inclusion in Recreation and Physical Activity will be provided.
