We have now completed, and are proud to present, the third of three specialized policy scans corresponding to the research priorities of the Canadian Disability Participation Project. Policy Governing Sport and Exercise for People with Disabilities in Canada summarizes policy governing disability sport in 10 provincial, 3 territorial and the federal governments in Canada. The emphasis of the federal government is on high-performance sport and national/international competition, whereas the priority of the provinces and territories is on recreational sport, fitness and physical activity.
Research from the Canadian Disability Participation Project was supported by the Social
Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada. Grant # 895-2013-1021
