What is Bridging the Gap?
Ontario Wheelchair Sports Association (OWSA) has launched Bridging the Gap, a brand new program aimed at getting people out to have a go at wheelchair sports and get physically active again.
Bridging the Gap provides the opportunity for individuals with physical disabilities to get involved, meet others who want to get active and those who are. Over the course of the year, the Bridging the Gap program will run a series of 'have a go' sessions involving a variety of wheelchairs sports, including basketball, rugby, tennis, wheelchair racing and more.
