Canada
At Active Lives Canada, we believe that every individual is unique and deserving of personalized care, support, and opportunities for growth. Our approach is centered around empowerment, inclusion, and respect. We focus on creating a supportive environment where each person is encouraged to reach their full potential, regardless of their abilities. By offering tailored programs and building meaningful relationships, we ensure that every participant feels valued, understood, and capable of achieving their own goals. With a strong foundation of compassion, we provide the tools, guidance, and encouragement needed for everyone to live with purpose and dignity.
Our respite program is designed to provide the best possible care for your child and allow them to thrive in our residential environment. Respite care helps family caregivers restore balance in their lives. It allows caregivers to take the time to recover from the stresses of caregiving and gives them the flexibility to take care of other important aspects of their lives. Respite care is a necessary tool to support a caregiver's success. A residential home offers a short-term change in living arrangements and social contact. Residents typically stay in the home for one week to two months. After that, they return to their own homes.
From the launch of Active Lives Canada respite program, the ultimate goal has been to provide residential respite. Since Covid 19, nearly every service provider in our sector has reported having serious backlogs and waiting lists of families desperate for away from home respite services. While Active Lives Canada does have interest slowly building for our in-home and community based respite program, after communicating with several different service providers it is evident that a more financially successful avenue to explore would be a residential respite home, providing overnight away from home services.

Camp Fun
We are thrilled to introduce Active Lives Get Up and Move Camp, a brand-new adventure built from years of experience running successful day programs and camps. This camp is the culmination of everything we’ve learned, designed to bring the best of fun, exploration, and community together in one place. Camp isn’t just about relaxing on the beach, it’s about discovering new experiences, staying active, and building a safe and inclusive environment for everyone. Active Lives Get Up and Move Camp will travel into vibrant communities like Creemore, Honeywood, Holstein, and Flesherton, creating unique events and activities each day. From local adventures to exciting group challenges, every moment is about connection, energy, and joy. We are excited for the possibility, the friendships, and the fun to begin in 2026. Sign up now and be part of the movement!
Our Day Program
​The Active Lives Day Program is designed to provide adults with meaningful opportunities to develop skills, build confidence, and engage in a variety of enriching activities. We offer a diverse range of programs, including computer coding to promote digital literacy, no-cook cooking skills to enhance independence in meal preparation, and aquaponics to teach sustainable farming and eco-friendly food production.
Our agriculture program allows participants to learn about gardening and the environment, while continuing education sessions focus on lifelong learning in subjects like math, literacy, and more.
Creative arts fosters artistic expression, and our holistic workout routines support physical well-being and mental clarity. Through creative music, participants are encouraged to explore rhythm, melody, and self-expression in a fun and supportive environment.
Each activity is thoughtfully structured to foster growth, empowerment, and a strong sense of purpose.

Families trust Active Lives Canada because we communicate openly, document carefully, and treat each participant as a whole person with strengths, preferences, and a unique path forward.
