Examines the challenges faced by recreation organizations when developing intergenerational recreation programs (IGRPs) and offers recommendations for creating successful initiatives that promote participation and build connections between age groups. Using content analysis, interviews, and field observations across Greater Victoria, the study found that few intergenerational programs exist despite well-documented social and individual benefits. Key barriers include limited institutional capacity, scheduling conflicts, inadequate staff training, and a lack of strategic prioritization and funding. The research highlights best practices such as staff and volunteer training, community partnerships, and intentional program design. Recommendations are provided to help the James Bay Community School Centre develop an IGRP that strengthens community bonds through meaningful intergenerational engagement
