Joyful group of #VictoriaBC #sailors embark on first #SalishSea outing.
A total of 12 clients of the #GarthHomerSociety paired with the #NorthSaanich #SailingClub in their first #partnership.
In partnership with #AbleSail Victoria – a charity providing #AccessibleSailing opportunities for children and adults with #disabilities – the club opened its boats to clients of the Garth Homer Society for a crash course in #sailing.

Losing their sight. Not their love for the game. This is how blind tennis keeps hope alive:

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.

The Invictus Games are underway in Vancouver and Whistler, British Columbia. Town & Country magazine has this quick rundown of the adaptive sports competition for wounded service members and veterans, Prince Harry's connection, and how some of the athletes feel about it. “Considering my injury, for a long time, I felt very powerless and invisible,” Major Joanna Labonté says. "I feel like they’re shining a light on us — the military members who have struggled, who have felt a lot of uncertainty in our future. And they're saying ‘Your journey is just beginning, it’s not over. Yes, you’re releasing from the military, but you’re just beginning this brand new phase of your life. And you matter.’”
