Imagineo promotes physical activity through its outdoor layouts, which encourage youth to come to the park to move and play. In addition, Imagineo also encourages young athletes to practice their sport of choice while still continuing their studies. It is in this engaged social and community context that Imagineo helps elite athletes by providing sport-study bursaries to the Fondation d’athlète d’excellence du Québec. In 2011 we gave out four bursaries to the following young athletes:

Imagineo is likewise a proud partner of Camp famille TED-Autiste d'Explos-Nature. The mission of this organization is to offer vacations to children with autism and their parents. It uses a scientific approach that privileges direct observation, contact and experimentation in a way that stimulates intellectual curiosity. The camp offers moments of respite so that parents can recharge and provides unforgettable family activities. It also allows them to get to know families that face the same challenges.
