Wood Buffalo You Can Ride 2 - Adapted Bike Lending Library

Fort McMurray Catholic Schools support success for every student in an inclusive classroom setting to the fullest extent possible. However, the severity of a disability may require partial or full alternative placements to better meet the learning needs of some children. This placement should be considered as a last resort when other strategies and supports are proven to be ineffective in helping the child meet with success. Team meetings between home and school will take place for all decision making. Visit their website for more details on their specialized school programming.

The WBUCR2 program operates as a lending library allowing children to borrow adapted bikes for the summer months as well as during the school year. Children are assessed by a trained Physical Therapist or Occupational Therapist to ensure they have a bike that suits their individual needs. Families pay a small rental fee ($75.00) and borrow the bike from May – October. The bikes are then re-distributed amongst the schools and used for in school bike programming.
