Parasport Ontario
Who We Are/Our Mission
ParaSport® Ontario supports all members of the disability community in finding their sport or activity of choice. Our vision is to unify the parasport sector, promoting opportunities for ALL people with disabilities. Out mission is to provide the residents of Toronto with leadership, resources, and support to connect the disability community to adaptive sport and healthy living opportunities. We support all members of the disability community in choosing their own parasport path. Even though it is individualized for each person, overall, the goals are the same - to increase physical activity participation, mental health, and quality of life for anyone with a disability.
