"This is my second year as a participant in the Oakville Strokers group. The combination of weekly social and physical activities at the Glen Abbey Recreational Centre provides a stimulating environment for group interaction. As a physically handicapped participant, l enjoy the camaraderie of the group and the outstanding contribution that the organizers bring to the weekly activities."
