PARALYMPIC
The Canadian Cycling Association's Paralympic program was created in 1996.
The CCA has completely integrated the Paralympic program into our National
Team Program. These athletes benefit from the same support as other
National Team members including having access to the Sport Canada Athlete
Assistance Program. A dedicated national team coach is in place and these
athletes benefit from the opportunities presented to them through the
national team program each culminating in participation at the IPC World
Championships or the European Championships.
Every four years, our top
Paralympic athletes have the opportunity to represent Canada at the
Paralympic Games. The CCA works closely with the Canadian Paralympic
Committee in the preparation and coordination of our team to this event.
Finally, for the continued identification, recruitment and development of
new athletes, the CCA must continue to work closely with various organizations
that deal with persons with a disability, including the Canadian Cerebral
Palsy Sports Association (CCPSA), the Canadian Amputee Sports Association
(CASA), and the Canadian Blind Sports Association (CBSA).
