From Kirby Cote, Active Aging Coordinator:  

    With the help of some incredible people and a grant from the Province of Manitoba, an Accessible Sport Expo is planned for Sunday, November 13!

• This event is an opportunity for persons with a disability to try a variety of adapted sports at one location. 
• This event is for anyone from the active aging community who would like to learn more about how adapted sports can help them to become more physically active.
• A chance for healthcare workers and educators to familiarize themselves and interact with sport and recreation resources for their clients or students who require adaptations to be physically active.  

     This expo is truly for everyone. We have over 30 organizations signed up, all offering a physical opportunity to engage in an adapted sport or recreation activity at no cost. This event is FREE!

• Check out adapted equipment!
• Meet the individuals leading accessible sport & rec programs in Manitoba!
• Engage with organizations that are making our communities more accessible and inclusive!

      Accessible Sport Connection Manitoba is proud to share that we hired five individuals from the disability community to guide us in creating a safe and fun space for everyone.  

      We need your help for the 2022 MB Accessible Sport Expo to be successful! Please share this invitation with your friends, family, and colleagues. 

     Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or if your employer might like to hear a bit more about what we have planned. See you there!

Falls are the leading cause of injury in Canada for older adults, but are largely preventable. Fall injuries are also a serious health concern as they can lead to disability, chronic pain, a loss of independence and a reduced quality of life.
