In settlement process of immigrants in a host country, immigrant children and their transition are overlooked. This research investigates role of recreational activities in Nepali immigrant children living in Guelph towards their inclusion and socialization in the community. In-depth interviews were used to understand their perception on recreational activities, explore available subsidy and financial programs to access recreational activities and understand immigrants’ knowledge on available subsidy and financial programs to access recreational activities. This study concluded there needs to be more work done to publicize available subsidy and financial programs to access recreational activities.”
