ACCESS PROGRAM
ABOUT
The Access program is designed to inspire, empower, and connect people of all abilities through dynamic, engaging experiences both on-site and out in the community. Participants who attend are looking for a slower pace and who benefit from more hands-on, hand-over-hand guidance. Staff offer compassionate, attentive support tailored to each person’s pace and needs.
At the heart of what we do is meaningful community access, recreation and leisure, and authentic friendship-building. Participants enjoy a vibrant mix of opportunities including Quest for Fitness Light, Creative Quest, immersive sensory experiences in the sensory room, seasonal celebrations, cultural outings, and so much more. Whether discovering a new passion, building confidence, or forming lasting connections, Access creates a space where everyone can thrive, belong, and have fun.

GOAL
Bring new Life to AIR
​
After consultations with a variety of AIR employees and stakeholders, a desire to remain current to individuals interests and wishes within their supports was identified.
​
AIR determined that a 2 year goal would be necessary. Year One will focus on getting feedback from individuals and employees while also assessing current resources within AIR. Year Two will focus on planning for changes and implementing new programming among the AIR programs.
​
AIR recognizes that in order to stay relevant in disability services, we will continually need to be looking for new and exciting opportunities. AIR is committed to ensuring AIR is a place that individuals want to come, and employees enjoy the work they do.
SEASONAL
​
The warm weather is fast approaching and we will remain spontaneous and adjust calendars if the weather stays warm and dry. We’ll be sending home winter gear from lockers and encourage you to bring in a hat and sunscreen for the warmer days. Please also ensure you’re wearing proper footwear for community walks.
