People participating in local recreation, leisure and volunteer opportunities in the community.

Get Involved
Community Participation Supports are based out of the various communities we serve across Essex County.
People participate in activities that reflect their specific interests and abilities.
Support workers provide assistance when needed and are there to inspire, encourage and work to ensure people are able to participate fully and safely in the activities they have chosen.
