TRANSCRIPT

Ontario ParaSport Games BidWe submitted a bid to host the 2014 Ontario Para Sport games. This was an aggressive

goal, but it helped our team identify our assets and brought the community together. We were runners up in the selection process, but Para Sport Ontario strongly urged us to

apply to host the games in years to come.
