The Active Living Alliance for Canadians with a Disability

The Active Living Alliance for Canadians with a Disability is a national network that was created in 1989 to motivate and assist Canadians with a disability to become more physically active.  While an active lifestyle is important for all Canadians, it is particularly important for those with a disability.  Research has demonstrated that active individuals can enjoy better overall health, improved quality of life, elevated self-esteem, prolonged independent living in later life and increased mobility.   For individuals with a disability, these benefits help make coping with the everyday challenges of life easier, and can even prevent relapses of certain disabilities or health problems.

Tania's Place is proud to be a partner with the Ontario ALA. Visit their partners page.
