Disability Sport
Vancouver 2010 Paralympic Games legacies
The hosting of the Vancouver 2010 Paralympic Games provided a unique opportunity to leave a lasting legacy in sport and recreation for British Columbians with a disability. Together with its sport partners, 2010 Legacies Now is making an impact on sport system planning and development to realize Paralympic Games legacies.
Developing new opportunities for accessible sport
The Vancouver 2010 Paralympic Games presented an opportunity to create sport legacies for people with disabilities in the areas of physical activity, healthy living and sport.
To ensure that disability sport is a recipient and driver of these legacies, 2010 Legacies Now brought together provincially funded disability sport organizations to form a Disability Sport Collective to discuss shared issues, system education, system funding, addressing barriers for participants and sport system planning.
The sport organizations that form the Disability Sport Collective on sport system planning for people with disabilities include:
2010 Legacies Now thanks the Province of BC and numerous other
partners, sponsors and organizations for their invaluable support.
