Inclusion Services

The City of Oshawa encourages participation for all. Staff assistance to support participation in recreation and culture programs is provided to individuals who have difficulties with physical mobility, visual or hearing impairments, medical conditions or intellectual/behavioural challenges. While we are not able to guarantee assistance in all cases, staff will work hard to assist you in accessing our programs.

Staff will assess the participant's need for assistance in our seasonal programs and summer camps using the following criteria:

• A support agency is currently supporting and providing assistance
• Additional support is required in school, support/assistance at home or in the community with basic needs
• A physical, developmental and/or learning disability exists that affects his/her communications, mobility, comprehension and/or socialization, their safety and/or the safety of other program registrants

Please download, print and complete the following forms and submit at time of registration:

• Confidential Participant Information
• Consent to Care (if required)
• Outside Support Worker Release (if required)
• Medication Administration Request (if required)
• Consent for Assistance in Administering an Epi-Pen (if required)

For further information, please contact Angelo Daicopoulos at 905-436-3311 extension 2333. A minimum of 3 weeks notice is requested to allow adequate time to assess and arrange for program support.

In addition to the camp registration process, families are asked to register for inclusion support using the corresponding code located below.  A maximum of 2 weeks per child is available for summer camps.
