Dahü
The Dahü, our adapted wheelchair specially designed to circulate in mountainous terrain, promotes teamwork and strengthens the relationships between the people who participate. The participant with reduced mobility in the Dahü can help his team by guiding it in the mountainous terrain and even participate in the effort using sticks if his condition allows it.
Cities and organizations that obtain a Dahü agree to lend them free of charge to people with reduced mobility. The ASF coordinates the availability of volunteers and ensures a safe outing in a rejuvenating outdoor environment.
Adapted horse riding
Thanks to the Hippo-lib saddle adaptations and in collaboration with the equestrian center of Mrs. Josée Durand, the FSA is resuming the adapted riding program this year, to the delight of our passionate volunteers!
Adapted mountain biking
This new program was initiated by the organization Les Amis des Sentiers de Bromont, with the participation and a grant from Kéroul. This funded the acquisition of two electrically assisted mountain bikes.
Thanks to these bikes, a large part of the trails (150 km) in Bromont, operated and maintained by Les Amis des Sentiers, will now be accessible to people with physical disabilities. The objective is to allow them to enjoy an outdoor sport and the beauties that nature offers us.
