As an athlete in Ontario, Sport Alliance Ontario provides opportunities to reach success in your athletic career.
Shayne Smith
As a para-athlete, I have been involved in sport since I was 7 years old and have not let my physical barriers stop me from playing the sports I love most – hockey and basketball. I refused to ever give up on myself and playing sledge hockey and wheelchair basketball has helped make me the strong individual I am today.
I have been very fortunate that Sport Alliance Ontario has provided me with the opportunity to reach success and achieve excellence in my sporting career. I have represented Ontario in wheelchair basketball at the Canada Games twice and without Sport Alliance Ontario I never would have been able to represent our province as the Ontario flag bearer at the 2011 Canada Winter Games. This has been a highlight of my athletic career. My athletic career does not stop here, and I am excited to take on any new opportunities I am given.
