Our goal is to provide opportunities for children and youth to participate in physical activity and fitness programs, to develop skills and knowledge towards health and wellness while asserting autonomy and independence in a fun and social environment.

 Who these programs are for

The CAGE programs are suitable for children and youth - 4 to 19 years old - with physical, sensory or developmental disabilities.

The objectives of the CAGE program are
