In September 2015, while the family policy was being developed, the recreation department got ahead and purchased an all-terrain Hippocampi chair. It also purchased in 2016:
- 2 all-terrain, big-wheeled wheelchairs for residents who wish to walk in the nature park;
- 6 wheelchairs (3 of 16 inches for kids, and 3 of 20 inches for adults) to allow residents to move in municipal buildings, including in the Community Centre, the Parc nature Les-Forestiers-de-Saint-Lazare and in the new Town hall;
- A pool ramp to allow the progressive entrance into the water;
- adapted picnic tables;
- skates (ski-vel) for wheelchairs;
- adapted swimming vests for kids and adults;
- additional snow tubes for youngsters and adults;
- additional training supports for learning how to ice skate;
- And a person-lift to access the swimming pool
Free swim hours for seniors, as well as senior aquafitness courses also started in the summer of 2017.
