I’m thrilled to announce my candidacy for Vice President of the International Paralympic Committee.
This Movement shaped me—and I’ve dedicated my life to shaping it in return. I’m not just ready—I’m deeply committed to continuing this journey.

[Chelsey Gotell, PLY (she/her) @ChelsGotell]

With deep experience across all levels, I bring bold, people-first leadership rooted in purpose, action, and the drive to leave a meaningful mark.

Over the next few weeks, I am looking forward to connecting with IPC members from around the world—sharing my vision, hearing yours,

[Chelsey Gotell, PLY (she/her) @ChelsGotell]

So incredibly proud of you, @KirstyCoventry. The first female PRESIDENT of the @Olympics - what a historic moment! Just two years ago, we walked through a park in London, envisioning a future where women led the way in sport. I can't wait to see the impact you'll have!

Historic Win! 🥉

To see the smiles on fellow athletes' faces when they see your friendly face in the scrum area, your pure joy as you celebrate their success and sorrow when they step off of the FOP devastated is so appreciated by us all! Thank you!!!

[Chelsey Gotell, PLY (she/her) @ChelsGotell]

Thank you so much for such amazing coverage of our Para athletes and Paralympians. This kind of enthusiasm and excitement is something I dreamed about from our Canadian media, when I conpeted as a Paralympian.

The spotlight isn't often enough on Para athletes. But when it is, magic happens.

At these Games, the athletes became sporting heroes here and at home in Canada.

@hfxgov @nsgov Located at Water St/Salter St. across from Keith's Brewery. Who runs this lot? It's totally unacceptable that these spots are considered accessible spots.

@hfxrec Where are the accessible design elements for children with disabilities who would also love to enjoy this and other parks you've recently updated? Or care givers who have a disability and bring their littles to the park? It is so disappointing & unacceptable to see this in 2023.

[Canadian Paralympic Team @CDNParalympics]

Congratulations to Canadian Paralympians and athlete leaders @ChelsGotell and @jennbrowndiscus on being named to the World Para Sports Unit Board! 👏👏👏@Paralympics
