BC Athletics Para-Athletics Recruitment and Development Project
BC Athletics with support from the Canada Post Community Foundation will embark on a year-long project dedicated to improving the programming and services for Para-Athletics in British Columbia. The project involves connecting with BC Athletics Member Clubs, Athletics Canada, Schools, BC Disability Sport Organizations and Events with a focus on:
  • Capacity Building
  • Coach Education
  • Officials Education
  • Accessing / Inviting / Recruitment
  • Participation / Competition Opportunities
  • High Performance Para-Athletics Program
The program is to align with the Athletics Canada initiatives for Para-Athletics Development to support the objective of increased recruitment and retention of new Para Athletes into the sport of Athletics.
 
Leading this project is Katie Miyazaki whose extensive background in multiple sports and six plus years working with Wheelchair Basketball provides her with a wealth of information and knowledge relating to Para Integration with mainstream sport. Her work and experience in disability sport at provincial, national and international levels makes her an ideal person to lead this project and assist clubs and events in being able to deliver Para-Athletics programs and services for those in their BC community and region.
 
The project kicks off with 2 days per week beginning March 1, 2021.
