OUR STORY
Welcome,
The OneAbility Games was created to respond to a long-standing gap in our sport system: a fragmented and often inaccessible pathway for athletes with disabilities.
Despite national and provincial commitments to equity and inclusion, accessibility has not been at the forefront of sport planning—leaving many individuals, especially youth, without the opportunity to participate, compete, or connect through sport.
In schools, students with disabilities frequently miss out on playing alongside their peers, contributing to social isolation and missed developmental opportunities. At the same time, Canada is facing a youth mental and physical health crisis. The OneAbility Games offers a timely and meaningful solution—an inclusive, multi-sport, multi-disability event that provides space for both participation and performance. With integrated programming, students of all abilities come together to compete, learn, and grow—breaking barriers and building community in the process.
Inspired by the powerful model of Défi sportif AlterGo that has been successfully running in Quebec since 1984, and building on the over 50-year legacy of Operation Trackshoes, the OneAbility Games is more than a moment—it’s a movement.
