Inclusion Support for registered programs

The City of Oshawa provides accessible and inclusive recreation opportunities for participants of all abilities.

Inclusion support may be beneficial if the participant:

  • receives additional support at school
  • receives support at home for basic care
  • engages in behaviour that could affect the safety of themselves or others
  • is associated with a support agency

Inclusion Support information

How do I request inclusion support?

You can request one to one or one to two inclusion support for any program listed in the activeOshawa Recreation Program Guide.

Request inclusion support for:

  • Registered Programs 
  • Summer Camps 
  • March Break Camps 
  • Holiday Camps

Register for your program/camp of choice and for the Inclusion Services Support course. Registering in this course is the only way to ensure your request for inclusion support is received.

How do I know if I got the inclusion support that I requested?

The Inclusion Coordinator will confirm if the request for inclusion support has been fulfilled. Requests are processed in the order they are received and based on the availability of inclusion staff. Participants may provide their own support staff to assist if desired.

External support workers

External support workers can attend all programs. The family that the external support worker represents must cover any extra costs related to a program. We may request personal information from the support worker for emergencies.

External support workers must submit a Criminal Reference Check with Vulnerable Sector Search (within the last six months) and proof of valid Standard First Aid and CPR-C certification to the Inclusion Services Coordinator.

Participant information for inclusion support

All participants who access inclusion services are required to complete the Inclusion Services Participant Profile.

What do if I'm going to be absent?

If the participant of inclusion services will be absent, contact the Inclusions Services Coordinator at 905-436-3311, ext. 2620.
