About us
At the Capital Wheelchair Curling Club, our members are dedicated to providing support with skill and sport development for community members with a disability. The formation of enduring friendships and the promotion of more active lifestyle options are common side effects experienced by members.
The Capital Wheelchair Curling Club is committed:
To developing a not-for-profit, community based, recreational wheelchair curling program with emphasis on maximizing participation and enjoyment.
To encourage by example the integration of wheelchair curling programs throughout the Capital Region by promoting elimination of participation barriers.
To promoting the development of a competitive wheelchair curling program consistent with Para-Olympic curling requirements.
To ensuring that the program operates within the established framework of the Canadian Curling Association and its member organizations wherever applicable.
There are 2 competitive teams training with the CWCC, and this is a photo from an exhibition game between one of the Ottawa Teams and Team Quebec. All 16 rocks are in the house.
