Hello we are inviting parents and guardians of children and youth with disabilities to participate in a new survey about access to, and the quality of disability services for children and youth up until the age of 21.  
 
Manitoba Advocate for Children and Youth (MACY) want to know the issues, barriers, and challenges facing your child and family. The survey questions ask about your child's demographics and disability-related needs, services received, respite, care coordination, daycare/school-experience, and specialized living situations. There are also questions about services during the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown.
 
Please take the time and use your voice here: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/FMVCTZ2
They will use the information you submit to make a report and recommend changes to improve disability services for children, youth, and young adults in Manitoba.

This past Thursday the 3rd of September, brought accessible golf to Crescent Drive golf course. Where Teo, Evan, and Paul all participated in a round of golf, hitting a couple pars along the way! The day was a great way to get out and get some exercise before the weather gets to cold! The goal is to get out on the course one more time before the season ends! If this is something that interests you, don't hesitate to reach out to Josh at;

As the summer draws to a close people are trying to make the most of the weather before the cold hits. This was exactly the case last Saturday in Morden MB, where challenger baseball took the mound to showcase their program to great success. People of all ages and abilities were able to come out and try their hand at the sport. Congratulations to the organizers on an fantastic showcase and event!!

A few days ago we posted the time trials done by the novice and novice plus groups at the 2020 Sledge Hockey camp.

Now it is time to give some attention to the Intermediate group from the camp! The intermediate athletes skated around the entire rink from hash marks to hash marks. Alyssa clocked in with the fasted time 23.92! While coaches saw the biggest improvement from Gianluca and Christian, shedding off 7.6 seconds, and 5.47 seconds respectively!! 

Well done everyone we can't wait to see you all this season! 

Check out this great video the Sledgehammers made over the summer, staying connected even during covid!

GO SLEDGEHAMMERS!

Another year and yet another successful Sledge Hockey camp! We ran our fourth annual Skate to Physical literacy Sledge hockey camp to roaring success! With 23 athletes being involved in developing their skills, fostering friendships, and growing as a group throughout the week. We had a great group of athletes ranging in ages and experience, with some athletes trying Sledge Hockey for the first time at this camp! 

This year we timed the novice and novice plus skaters from goal line to blue line on Monday and Friday to see if there was a change in their overall speed. Henry achieved the fastest time on Friday, while Max went from being a pusher to skating without any support! 

Great work everyone we can't wait to see you all this season!!

A huge thank you goes out to all the parents for bringing their athletes to this camp, and allowing them to take some time away from everything that is going on right now. Another huge thank you goes out to the wonderful staff for helping make this camp a continued success!
