Students Support Inclusive Sport at OneAbility Games

Students from across the district took part in the inaugural OneAbility Games, a multi-sport event held at the Richmond Olympic Oval that focused on accessibility and inclusion. The event welcomed participants from around the province, creating opportunities for individuals of all ages and abilities to engage in athletic experiences.

Representing one of the largest groups involved, more than 100 Richmond students participated throughout the week, taking part in a variety of sport stations, including track and field, wheelchair and adapted basketball, floorball, lacrosse, soccer and sitting volleyball. These activities provided opportunities for them to try different sports in a supportive and inclusive setting. Students from the Explorations program also volunteered at each activity station, supporting event operations and engaging directly with athletes and attendees.

Through both participation and volunteering, students gained valuable experience in inclusive sport while building connections within the broader community.
