About Us
The Abilities Centre will be a world class recreation, athletic and performing arts facility fully accessible to all persons of all ages and abilities.
The Centre is ideally situated within 47 acres of parkland on the shores of beautiful Lake Ontario. It is located within one km of the Greater Toronto Area’s (GTA) mass transit corridor (Hwy 401), next to the Whitby GO Train Station, and easy to reach by public transit - making it easily accessible for most of southern Ontario.
The state-of-the-art, universal design, 125, 000 square foot (11612.88 m²) facility will house three full basketball courts surrounded by a 200 meter, five-lane track. Fully equipped and universally accessible cardio/fitness and weight and sensory rooms will offer unparalleled opportunities for physical activities for people of all ages and abilities. Drama, music, art and life skills programming will transpire in the performing arts theatre, music studio, library and life skills room.
Resource and meeting rooms will provide space for the Abilities Centre to be a knowledge hub of disability services, program information, participation and inclusion research, and fully integrated community capacity building. The Abilities Centre’s close proximity to, and partnership with, the Town of Whitby’s Iroquois Sports Centre, Canada’s largest municipal sports complex, provides a unique chance to provide diverse programs and activities.
