The Canadian Disability Participation Project 2.0, in collaboration with Queen’s University and CSEP, is conducting a new research study to improve qualified exercise professionals’ (QEPs) abilities to work with persons with disabilities.

This 30-minute online survey is open to:

Qualified Exercise Professionals (QEPs) across Canada
Adults with lived experience of disability

Your feedback will help shape a disability-specific competency framework to strengthen training for exercise professionals and improve accessibility in community fitness settings.

✅ Compensation provided
✅ CSEP-CEPs® and CSEP-CPTs® can earn 5 PDCs
✅ Chance to win one of ten $25 Amazon gift cards

This is an important opportunity to contribute to building a more inclusive fitness industry and ensure that exercise professionals are equipped with the tools to support all Canadians in their pursuit of active, healthy lives.
