Activities & Programs

From Monday to Friday, members of the Action Centre participate in group activities that foster a sense of belonging, self-esteem, and increased autonomy. Courses are available at the Centre and online. Registration can be done in person at the Centre, or by phone. Online registration is in development. Course and activity fees are indicated below.

Our holistic approach to programming is based on a four-pillar philosophy designed to stimulate the body and the mind.

What Action centre offers

Education

Our curriculum equips members with valuable and practical life skills. From language studies and conversational skills to computer and online training, there is something to stimulate and engage every person, at every level.

Health & Wellness

Wellness starts from the inside out. Activities are designed to improve confidence and understanding through participation and peer association while developing healthy lifestyle choices through exercise, meditation, and nutritional education.

Art & Creativity

Creative activities such as drawing, painting, , jewelry making, and writing promote communication and self-expression while encouraging physical dexterity.

Community Participation

We are proud to have created a safe zone for our members to open up, grow and be themselves. In addition to facilitating long-lasting friendships at the Centre, we aim to increase self-confidence and independence by empowering our members to actively participate and take greater responsibility within their communities.

Respite

Centre Action’s respite service provides daytime, reliable support for individuals and families who care for loved ones with specific needs. Delivered by certified caregivers experienced in assisting individuals with physical disabilities, our service ensures participants receive safe, respectful, and quality care. This support allows caregivers to take time to rest, attend to personal responsibilities, and recharge, knowing their loved ones are in capable and compassionate hands.
