The Town of Bracebridge is pleased to offer a series of free programming in partnership with Muskoka Pride, that encourages the 2SLGBTQ+ community (youth and adults) to try new activities in a supportive and inclusive environment. This opportunity is made possible thanks to the generous support of the ParticipACTION Community Challenge. Everyone in Canada should have access to quality sport and physical activity opportunities that help them grow and thrive—physically, emotionally and socially.

“We are proud to partner with the Town of Bracebridge to offer programming for the 2SLGBTQ+ community. There are a lot of individuals who are apprehensive about participating in recreation programs for fear of judgement and isolation. The Recreation for EveryBody initiative provides a safe, inclusive space for everyone to take part in health and wellness.”
– Shawn Forth, Muskoka Pride
