Since its beginnings, WAG has benefited both Queen’s students and these young members of the Kingston community. In keeping with the goal of a more accepting society, Queen’s is proud to say that WAG is an inclusive event for children and youth who might otherwise miss out on opportunities for physical activity. WAG emphasizes the importance of social interaction and physical activity in an environment that promotes success and emphasizes the ability to participate. Each year, the host Queen’s students are increasingly encouraged by the shining abilities demonstrated by WAG participants. In fact, many student volunteers are out-run and out-played by their participant buddies in a wide range of activities. Though WAG occurs just once a year, we hope that its impact is felt throughout the year. For some children, the WAG experience provides the motivation and confidence to pursue physical activity elsewhere throughout the year.
