Our Adaptive Programs
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 from all walks of life 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, 4 years in London, ON.
One of our goals is to provide equipment, training, and programing to existing kayak and SUP rental companies across the country. Our programs have set the foundation to creating inclusive on-water recreational environments anywhere in Canada.

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 reasonable explanation, you may not be offered our specialized services again.
Behavior
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 behaviour of the adaptive paddler.
Confidentiality
Abilities In Motion ensures that all personal information and knowledge is kept private and is never shared beyond any AIM instructor and volunteer.
