About Wheelchair Basketball Canada
Wheelchair Basketball Canada is the national sports governing body responsible for the organization of wheelchair basketball in Canada.
It is a non-profit, charitable organization that is the Canadian member to the International Wheelchair Basketball Federation (IWBF).
Wheelchair basketball is a fast-paced, hard-hitting, competitive sport that has emerged as one of the most competitive and athletic sports played at the Paralympic Games. It requires significant stamina to be able to play a full game of wheelchair basketball, and is especially demanding on the strength of your arms. If you rely on a wheelchair but struggle with the strength required for day to day activities such as disabled access ramps, why not consider other options like TSL 500 Step Lift – The Alternative To A Wheelchair Ramp! Not everybody has the strength of a professional wheelchair basketball player, so have a look into the different ways you can adjust your own home to suit your abilities.
Our senior national teams are held in high esteem around the world for the elite skill and control that placed them on the podium with a combined five (5) Gold and one (1) Silver in the last five (5) Paralympic Games.
