Bridging The Gap - "Getting Physically Active"Do you want to try wheelchair sports? "Bridging the Gap - Getting Physically Active" offers individuals with physical disabilities the opportunity to get involved in wheelchair sports. If you are looking to get involved in sports at either a recreational or competitive level, we can help! For more information, contact: Laurie Wilson If you would like to get involved, scroll down for a list of events happening around Alberta cities. Don't see a city in your area listed? Contact Laurie at wsa2@telus.net for more info. Our "Have a Go" days offer a variety of different sports for participants to sample in a fun and relaxed atmosphere. Current wheelchair athletes demonstrate sports and share their stories of getting involved and being physically active. Once individuals have identified a sport that interests them, they can participate regularly in a weekly developmental program. The focus of the program is to introduce and support continued involvement of individuals with physical disabilities in wheelchair sports and recreational opportunities, promoting an active, healthy lifestyle and improved quality of life. Our Weekly Programs are an opportunity for clients to try out different sports at a recreational level. If they wish to continue to a more competitive team, we can offer support in finding an appropriate team. If they wish to continue at a recreational level, they are encouraged to keep coming to the Weekly Program! Each week, a sport is selected based on the participants in attendance.
