Environmental Scan:
Improving Participation of Youth and Young Adults with Disability in Physical Recreation in Cambridge Ontario
Date: November, 2024
This document highlights the results of a rapid environmental scan to inform processes of planning and intervention to improve the participation of youth and young adults with disability in Cambridge, Ontario. The scan employed a passive approach to data collection, using primarily a review of available published research (within the last five years) as well as review of City webpages and publicly-available reports, imposing significant limitations. A future scan would aim to be far more comprehensive, using both passive and active approaches to data collection, including notably, the engagement of a variety of community stakeholders to accurately represent the needs, interests, and preferences of YYAWD and those in their support system, and inform improvements to City programs that are both meaningful and sustainable.
