Ontario Para Network (ONPARA) is the new name of the Ontario Wheelchair Sports Association (OWSA).
Continuing the OWSA’s traditional mandate, ONPARA is the provincial governing body for three sports – wheelchair basketball, wheelchair rugby and wheelchair tennis and is a programming partner for wheelchair athletics. ONPARA is affiliated with the national sport organizations for each of these sports.
While our historical mandate has been to encourage all levels of participation in wheelchair sports, we increasingly see opportunities to support the involvement of peoples with physical disabilities in all sports with adaptive solutions.
We believe that participants of all abilities should have the opportunity to be physically active in any sport. That’s why we want to introduce you to our new brand.
Our rebranding will roll-out over the next few months so come back often to see ONPARA come to life.
