ABOUT CALGARY ADAPTED HUB POWERED BY JUMPSTART

Calgary Adapted Hub is a collective of Calgary-based organizations committed to providing quality sport and recreation opportunities for children, youth, and families living with disabilities in the city of Calgary. The collective is supported by Canadian Tire Jumpstart, and was mentored by the Abilities Centre in Whitby, Ontario.

The Hub was founded in 2020 to make sport and recreation more inclusive for children, youth, and families living with disabilities that are physical, intellectual, sensory, developmental, or otherwise. We are made stronger by the contributions of our partners, each of which is a leader in the field of adapted sport and recreation with their own area of expertise. From innovative programming to ground-breaking research, they aspire to be at the forefront of disability servicing. Partners include The University of Calgary, Mount Royal University, City of Calgary Recreation, Sport Calgary, Vivo for Healthier Generations,  Repsol Sport Centre, and WinSport.

Together with our partners, we are pathfinders, travel companions, and motivators on your journey to participation. Our goal is to maximize existing programs and create bold new ones through knowledge-sharing, research, education, evaluation, and— above all else—collaboration.

Calgary Adapted Hub staff and volunteers bring a wealth of experience backed by a common love of sport and a mission to ensure all children and youth, regardless of ability, can stay healthy and connected through a lifelong commitment to sport and recreation. We’re proud to bring nationally leading adapted sport and recreational programming to the city of Calgary—and we can’t wait to meet you and your family.
