Recreation Therapists use forms of leisure and recreation to support purposeful and meaningful interventions that are based on individual strengths and values.

Let’s celebrate our wonderful staff for their contributions!!

Come join our social groups!

AGI's Activity Centre provides therapeutic programs for people with cognitive impairments taking into account each individual’s abilities. 

Our goal is to provide participants with a sense of belonging and of self, a feeling of being productive; empowered, and an opportunity to enjoy leisure activities with their peers.

Furthermore, caregivers can benefit from necessary respite each week. These activities improve the quality of life for individuals living with dementia who have physical, mental, social or emotional limitations by helping them engage in meaningful leisure experiences.

Join our group for light exercise, stretching and lots of laughs!

AGI's Movement Program helps keep participants' minds and bodies engaged from the comfort of their own home.

We recommend that a caregiver be present.
