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.

The grassroots programming we do at Hockey Calgary is by far the most rewarding and fun part of my work. Such a cool opportunity to introduce hockey to a child for the first time and help in fostering a life long love for the game. The First Shift program is a nationally run program brought together with key partnerships between Hockey Canada, Bauer Hockey, National Hockey League (NHL), and the NHLPA. The local minor hockey association partners with their local NHL team (Calgary Flames, Flames Foundation, Calgary Flames Alumni) to help run this programs Over the past 7 years at Hockey Calgary, we have grown our First Shift programs from 3 to 9 and from 135 to 405 participants. One of the keys to our growth and success is through our partnerships with local organizations that help us connect with children and families that haven't had the opportunity to try hockey. Over the years have developed great partnerships and friendships with the Tsuu T’ina Nation, APNA Hockey, and South Asian Hockey. Our partnership with the Tsuu T’ina Nation and Kyle Dodginghorse (Tsuut'ina Hockey Director) has been incredibly impactful for growing hockey in Calgary. As I've always said, when we introduce hockey, we want to create a love for coming to the rink and being on the ice. The love for hockey will follow if we create an inclusive environment for kids to have fun. Playing tag is a good start! https://lnkd.in/g8YM-vYe

Calgary Adapted Hub powered by Jumpstart just released their annual report and guess who made the front page (hint: it’s my cutie). https://lnkd.in/g8db7Bir An incredible organization that is committed to providing quality sport and recreation opportunities for children, youth, and families living with disabilities in the city of Calgary. This past summer we also attended the ‘adapted all sport one day’. An opportunity for kids to try and participate in a variety of different sports. It was such a welcoming, inclusive and well run event (and the most fun!). Through this event, Henry was introduced to sledge hockey and he is loving his first year! Grateful that Calgary has an organization that focuses on collaboration, opportunity, community and research. ❤️ #adaptingthegame #inclusionmatters #cerebralpalsy
