Ontario March of Dimes provides a variety of quality recreation opportunities for adults with physical disabilities, from week-long summer holiday experiences at exciting Geneva Park, to travel education and other assistance for those who like to plan their own vacations. Some people with physical disabilities may feel socially isolated and have limited personal support networks. Through new relationships, individuals have the opportunity to explore mutual hobbies. The program gives these participants a chance to socialize, partake in group activities, go shopping, attend an event or chat over coffee. Adults with disabilities are paired with volunteers which facilitates integration into the community.
All volunteers go through a screening process and are matched with someone with similar interests.
