encouraging the integration of wheelchair curling programs throughout the Capital Region by promoting elimination of participation barriers.
promoting the development of a competitive wheelchair curling program consistent with Para-Olympic curling requirements.
ensuring that the program operates within the established framework of the Canadian Curling Association and its member organizations wherever applicable.
