Abilities Centre is a charitable organization that delivers enriching sports, fitness, arts and life skills opportunities for people of all ages and abilities.

Located in Whitby, just east of Toronto off Hwy 401 and next to the Whitby GO Station, the Centre features a 125,000 square foot, state-of-the-art, fully accessible facility that is easy to reach by car or public transit.

Since opening its doors in June 2012, Abilities Centre has combined barrier-free navigation and access to inclusive and innovative programs. Recognized as a Community Hub, the Centre serves local, national and international communities by providing resources and research tools that promote inclusivity and accessibility, while enhancing the quality of life.

OUR MISSION

The Abilities Centre enhances the quality of life and citizenship for people of all ages and abilities by providing inclusive programs and services of the highest quality and value. We give people the power to achieve their goals through sports, arts, life-skills programs and research and provide a welcoming, positive, energized environment in a state-of-the-art facility.

OUR VISION

The Abilities Centre is the world’s most accessible, inclusive and barrier-free community hub and a model of inclusion for other communities. We educate and inform people, through research and innovation, on the need to celebrate the diverse backgrounds and conditions from which we all come.
