Remove barriers to participation

Removing barriers makes it easier for people to take the first step towards trying something new. Some of the ways to encourage participation include:

• Providing transportation or ways to access transportation to get to your centre to participate in an active living class
• Scheduling programs at convenient times
• Keeping fees low
• Ensuring that requirements for special clothing or equipment will not deter people
• Gearing programs to the level of your least fit member and building gradually
• Keeping your programs varied and fun
