Bridging The Gap

Bridging the Gap Launches New Website And Video
Bridging the Gap, with the financial support of Coloplast, is launching it new website and is debuting a humorous BTG promotional video to celebrate.

The new website offers the most up-to-date information about wheelchair sports in Canada and is easy to navigate. Learn about the BTG core sports, see video clips of athletes in action, get connected with local sport organizations and learn how Bridging the Gap can help people with disabilities to become involved in physical activity. The website has photo and video galleries -- including photos from the recent 2010 World Wheelchair Rugby Championships -- so even if you're already involved in wheelchair sports, there's still a lot to see. There's more coming soon, so be sure to check back often.

Bridging the Gap seeks to eliminate the gap between a person's introduction to sport in a rehabilitation setting and his or her continued involvement in physical activity. By hosting Have-A-Go Days across the province, BTG allows individuals with disabilities to try a variety of wheelchair sports in a fun, supportive environment and learn from current wheelchair athletes. To learn about what other services BTG provides and check out the launch video, please visit www.btgcanada.ca.
