PacificSport Vancouver Island is very pleased to have received funding from the Canadian Paralympic Committee. We plan to provide an opportunity for junior wheelchair athletes (12-20 years old) to train and participate on sports teams at both the recreational and competitive levels with support from our partners, BC Wheelchair Basketball and BC Wheelchair Sports.

We are currently hiring a Coordinator position to be able to assist in the development of our program. We are looking for interested coaches and volunteers in each community we are looking to serve – Cowichan Valley, Nanaimo, Parksville/Qualicum, Comox Valley, Campbell River, Port Alberni, and Powell River.  Coach training is planned to get underway in late August/early September.

 

Here is some more info about the upcoming program
