The Calgary Sledge Hockey Association (CSHA) is committed to fostering inclusion, resilience, and community through the power of sport. We provide adaptive hockey programming for individuals of all ages and abilities, creating accessible opportunities for physical activity, skill development, and social connection. Our organization supports over 100 athletes each season and hosts the largest minor sledge hockey tournament in Western Canada, welcoming 30 teams and over 350 athletes from across North America. The barriers we address are both physical and systemic. Individuals with disabilities often face limited access to affordable recreation, inclusive environments, and opportunities to participate in organized sport. Many also experience social isolation, stigma, and financial challenges related to adaptive equipment and transportation. CSHA removes these barriers by subsidizing registration fees, supplying specialized equipment at no cost, and operating out of fully accessible facilities. Our "Try-It" events invite newcomers to experience the sport in a welcoming, low-pressure environment with coaching and peer support. Beyond physical wellbeing, our programs promote confidence, independence, and a strong sense of belonging. Athletes are encouraged to progress both on and off the ice, gaining life skills, building friendships, and contributing to a supportive and inclusive community. Through our work, CSHA aspires not just to grow the sport of sledge hockey—but to reshape what participation, possibility, and success can look like for athletes of all abilities.

FACE (Families of Alberta for Conductive Education) is dedicated to supporting children and young adults with moderate to severe neuromotor conditions impacting daily activities. It employs Conductive Education (CE), a holistic method blending physical rehab with cognitive learning in group settings to build independence via problem-solving and task-oriented activities. Young Adult Program This year-round day program (9am-3pm, Monday-Friday) is Calgary's only specialized option for adults with complex needs. Participants engage in group therapy with Conductive Educators, focusing on muscle strengthening, stretching, and mobility outside wheelchairs. Afternoons emphasize social activities, community outings, alternative/augmentative communication (AAC) for non-verbal individuals, and fostering belonging through inclusive group fun. Child Programs Preschool, after-school, weekend, and summer camps serve ages 2-17 with structured sessions in lying, sitting, and standing positions to target full development. Programs integrate toilet training, self-care skills, and personalized goals, supported by high staff ratios originally for cerebral palsy but adaptable to other neuromotor diagnoses. Fun elements like group games, meals, conversations, and music promote social bonds; many children participate long-term from toddlerhood through youth.
Eligibility: Toddlers, children and young adults with moderate to severe neuromotor conditions, such as cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis, developmental delays or traumatic brain injury, that impair daily functional skills would benefit most from attending a FACE program.

Additional Info: FACE fills a crucial gap in Calgary's special needs community by providing specialized support for individuals with moderate to severe neuromotor conditions. While Calgary offers various programs for people with disabilities, FACE's unique approach using Conductive Education sets it apart. This holistic method combines physical rehabilitation with cognitive learning, empowering participants to achieve greater independence and functional skills. Many existing programs cannot adequately meet the enhanced needs of individuals with complex neuromotor conditions, especially those with degenerative disorders. FACE's programs, with our strong emphasis on physical therapy and individualized attention, are invaluable for maintaining and improving participants' abilities, quality of life, and long-term well-being. By offering tailored support from preschool through adulthood, FACE ensures continuous care and development for a vulnerable population often underserved by traditional programs.
