Celebrating Inclusion Through Sport.
On June 12th, SSCS staff had the opportunity to come together for a unique and inspiring experience hosted by out internal Diversity Committee: Try it Day!. This special event invited team members to step outside their comfort zones and try playing basketball in a wheelchair.
With support from Whistler Adaptive Sports, Whistler Sport Legacies, and BC Wheelchair Basketball’s Let’s Play program participants learned the basics of wheelchair basketball and had the chance to experience the sport first-hand.
The event was held at Foundry’s basketball court in Squamish, with easy access via the wheelchair ramp to the nearby skatepark, making it an ideal location for this inclusive initiative.
More than just a fun afternoon, Try It Day! Was a chance to build empathy, break down barriers, and foster deeper understanding of accessible sport and recreation.
We are incredibly grateful to our partners and proud to support opportunities like this that reflect our values of inclusion , community, and personal growth.
