Achilles Canada Partners with Ontario Blind Sports Association

Achilles Canada, in partnership with Ontario Blind Sports Association (OBSA), is promoting the "Shared Vision" project. Their goals are to get people with vision disabilities active, to keep them healthy through sport and dietary education and to help up-lift and empower them through social interaction and personal accomplishment.

Athletics Canada/OBSA coaches will provide a training workshop for uniformity of session delivery. The coaches will run athletics clinics for the vision teachers of Ontario and people with vision disabilities. Each school session will take place in a fully integrated phys-ed class setting. The program will also train new guides and support persons. One of the key reasons for non participation, limited participation or non-continued participation is access to sighted guide assistance.
