The program is offered in close cooperation with the Town of Oakville's Glen Abbey Community Centre and the Physiotherapy Department of the Oakville Trafalgar Memorial Hospital.
“I have been with Strokers for 10 years and this program has been important to my development and happiness over the years. I enjoy exercising in the water and I see the real progress after doing it. I enjoy meeting and being with the people in my group who I can call my friends, and I love playing games and attending the social events that come with being in the program.”
