Welcome to the Abilities In Motion program, and thank you for choosing us for your adaptive paddling needs. Our organization was created to ensure everyone, no matter their journey, has the ability to enjoy the benefits of on-water recreational activities. Our programs have been running for 21 years in Alliston, ON, and more recently, for 4 years in London, ON.

One of our goals is to provide equipment, training, and programming to existing kayak and SUP rental companies across the country. Our programs have laid the foundation for creating inclusive on-water recreational environments across Canada.

We have experience working with a variety of disabilities, and cater to everyone, including, but not limited to:

Physical Disabilities

Paraplegia
Quadriplegia
Multiple sclerosis (MS)
Hemiplegia
Cerebral palsy
Absent limb/reduced limb function
Dystrophy
Polio

If you have any questions or wish to get in touch with our team, please contact us.

Policies & Regulations

Cancellation

Abilities In Motion plans each adaptive paddling session. Our volunteers arrive early to prepare the specialized equipment. While we do understand that emergencies happen, please respect our volunteers and give us 24 hours' notice of cancellation. Without this notice or a reasonable explanation, you may not be offered our specialized services again.

Behaviour

Abilities In Motion operates with safety in mind. At no time can we expose our volunteers to any harmful behaviour. We encourage support workers to participate with the expectation that they will assist with the behaviour of the adaptive paddler.
