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

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.

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.
