Our Story
Recreation That Changes Lives
At RecRespite, we believe recreation is far more than leisure—it's an opportunity to learn, grow, connect, and belong.
Founded in 2008 with the belief that everyone deserves access to meaningful recreation, our organization supports children, youth, adults, and older adults in achieving their personal goals through inclusive, individualized programming.
Whether we're helping a child build social confidence, supporting an adult in exploring their community, or providing families with trusted respite services, our focus remains the same: empowering people to live fuller, more connected lives.
Today, RecRespite proudly serves communities across Ontario and British Columbia, partnering with families, schools, healthcare professionals, and community organizations to create opportunities where everyone can thrive.
