Our Story
The Inclusion Arcade Story
From a grass-roots community initiative to a registered federal non-profit corporation, Inclusion Arcade was built on a simple belief: gaming, digital literacy, and community connection belong to everyone—without barriers.
Grassroots Inception
Founded on February 21, 2021, originally operating as Warriors and Survivors eSports Gaming Lounge (WSEGL). Launched direct community relief initiatives, including personal care bag deliveries to cancer survivors at Princess Margaret Hospital and Lakeridge Health.
Mobile Pop-Up Expansion
Expanded into physical outreach, deploying custom power generators and adaptive mobile gaming stations to regional festivals, Ontario Queer Chamber events, Pride celebrations, and healthcare technology conferences like TSMC Toronto.
International Feature & Hardware Access
Featured at major national conventions including the Los Angeles Abilities Expo, Rollettes Experience, MidwestFest, and Edison NJ. Established recycled tech distribution pipelines with partners like the Electronic Recycling Association.
Dedicated Physical Hubs & Digital Literacy
Initiated physical hub spaces and digital literacy labs—including our signature partnership with the Abilities Centre in Whitby—to provide year-round accessible technology, adaptive hardware tuning, and community events.
100% Adaptive Access
Utilizing Xbox Adaptive Controllers, custom reWASD remapping, Cephable AI head-tracking, and tailored switches so every gamer plays on a level field.
Nonviolent Curation
Prioritizing cooperative, flow-state, and nonviolent games that foster genuine social connection, mental well-being, and therapeutic regulation.
Transparent Governance
Operating as a CRA registered non-profit corporation funded entirely by grants, corporate partners, and grassroots community donations.
