We're Proud of the Winter Games, and Proud of BC

It was amazing to see the great enthusiasm and pride that Canadians from coast to coast showed during the Olympic Games and we encourage everyone to bring that same spirit to the Paralympics. The Paralympic Games are a great way to educate students about the achievements of people with a disability.
The story of Paralympic athletes can inspire students to strive for excellence and teach the value of passion, dedication and perseverance. Share the Dream! View the lessons of the day.
