Greater Manchester wheelchair racer hails family after bagging World Championship bronze

My #DisabledSailing association, #AbleSail Victoria secured a funding grant from #SailCanada & now can offer a CANSAIL 1 course at Royal Victoria Yacht Club. I signed up this morning for training in August.
Once I successfully complete CanSail 1, I can take their Can Sail 2 course. These will help me reach my adaptive sailing dreams of competing in a future Mobility Cup regatta.

Very grateful for all funding grants & donors for helping Able Sail Victoria with monies needed to keep their programs running. Disabled folks like me wouldn't be able to afford participating if the programs weren't highly subsidized.

Children and adults with #disabilities in #ThunderBay now have an opportunity to participate in an #accessible and #adaptive version of Canada's national winter sport.

#VoltHockey is an inclusive version of ice #hockey that's played on an indoor court using three-wheeled, electric carts with a plastic blade, like that of a hockey stick, attached to the front.

The carts are controlled by a single joystick, which can be moved to accommodate right- or left-handed players.

I'm so excited to get back to #ParaSailling in mid June with #AbleSail in #VictoriaBC!

Odin and Oie are returning to service! Two beautiful Sonars, Odin and Oie, are former #Paralympic Class #sailboats that have a decorated history in #PacificNW #sailing competitions. After several years of sitting idle, they are being returned to service.

Could I have some feedback from quad or neuromuscular crips who have used muscle stimulators like the PowerDot? What gains have it made?

#Memories from my time in competitive #paraequestrian #sports . I did mainly #dressage & pole bending races. Occasionally, Western barrel racing too. These two photos are from training camp (North Saanich) & #BCGames competition(Powell River). Riding Angel, a pure white Quarter/Arabian mix. I rode a big Haflinger, before switching to Angel.
