🥌 The journey from spinal injury to the Paralympic podium This is #WheelchairCurling Paralympic bronze medallist Jon Thurston's 🇨🇦 story. #Paralympics

After careful thought and consideration, I’ve decided to curl standing up, instead of from my wheelchair. It’s going to take some patience and a lot of time to get up after that first slide, but with the Olympics around the corner, it seems like a good time to make the switch.

When Canadian Paralympians win medals in Paris they'll be financially rewarded for the first time in history. $20,000 for gold, $15,000 for silver, $10,000 for bronze. It's equal to the amount Canadian Olympians receive. My story from earlier this year: cbc.ca/sports/paralym…

Did you know that all our programs include a Wheelchair Curling component? This portion gives students the opportunity to try it out themselves, using Pusher Sticks from chairs just like wheelchair curlers, creating awareness & a truly inclusive program for kids of all abilities.

Today is the International Day of Persons with Disabilities. Back in the summer, @CDNParalympics gold medallist @MarkIdeson shared some of his experiences managing his way around curling clubs as a wheelchair curler. We encourage all to listen to his experiences and learn.

We had an awesome day yesterday with these students who get to be front and centre in our brand new TV commercial! Thank you to everyone involved in this huge undertaking, especially these super duper kids and special guest @MarkIdeson!
