You may need extra support if:

  • Extra support is used at school

  • You have a physical, medical, behavioral and/or developmental disability that could affect your safety or ability to participate

The Township of Scugog has the right to remove participants from a program if they cannot follow the code of conduct. The Township of Scugog Refund Policy will apply.
