Stouffville Recreation Creates New Parasport Sampling Event, With Support Of Parasport Ontario & Jumpstart

The Town of Stouffville is excited to introduce a unique event this holiday season: ParaSport Sampler – Have-a-Go Day! With support from ParaSport Ontario, Stouffville welcomes two National-level athletes to support learning and engagement in various parasport opportunities throughout the day.

On Saturday, January 7, families and children 6+ are invited to join us at the Leisure Centre Gymnasium (2 Park Drive) from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. to experience and engage in a variety of parasports.

The Town’s Recreation Department created this event to continue to prioritize our commitment to ensuring our programs are inclusive and fun for the entire community. There are a number of activities that can be experienced during the event, including wheelchair basketball, para (sledge) hockey, sitting volleyball, wheelchair handball and more!

Team Canada and Team Ontario athlete, Nasif Chowdhury and Team Canada athlete, Garrett Riley will be joining us to engage participants, teach basic skills and offer tips on how to play some of the most popular parasports.

This event has been made possible by a grant from Jumpstart Canadian Tire Charities. Canadian Tire Jumpstart Charities is committed to ensuring kids in need have equal access to sport and recreation. Along with Jumpstart, we understand the importance of sport for the health and well-being of kids and their families and are proud of the work we do to provide community sport and recreation opportunities.
