Grateful to have spent 2 days with an incredible group of people! My mind is full- I'm excited to return home and continue to ask "how might we" create meaningful coaching for para sport opportunities for all. Thank you @UAlberta @uOttawa @steadwardcentre @CAC_ACE @CDNParalympics

Yesterday the CPC was thrilled to be part of the National Coaching for ParaSport Summit to move beyond asking "why" disability inclusion is important in coaching to instead asking "how".@UAlberta @steadwardcentre @uOttawa @CAC_ACE @SSHRC_CRSH

"We have 16 unbelievably talented women who have already faced their fair share of hardships in life. They don't need to fight a sexist and ableist system, but they are so that the next generation doesn't have to do it"

[Jessica Ferguson (she/her) @j_fergg3]

Increasing the number of para sport athletes who become coaches can provide much needed role models for athletes to "see themselves" in sport leadership roles. I was so happy to be a part of and see this in action with A2C through @steadwardcentre
