Bridging The Gap
Getting Physically Active

Bridging the Gap is a recruitment and development initiative of BC Wheelchair Sports.

The program is designed to introduce and support continued involvement of individuals with physical disabilities in wheelchair sports and recreational opportunities, promoting an active healthy lifestyle and improved quality of life.

Individuals with physical disabilities are invited to attend "Have A Go" events where they are introduced to a variety of different wheelchair sports in a fun and informal atmosphere. Current wheelchair athletes demonstrate sports and share their stories of getting involved and being physically active. Once individuals have identified a sport that interests them, they can participate regularly in a developmental program.

Developmental programs are offered throughout BC to give participants an opportunity to learn and develop sport specific skills (please refer to the Bridging the Gap Programs page).
