Program dedicated to veterans
DonateThe aim of our activities is to encourage you to break isolation, socialize in a small group, acquire new sporting skills at your own pace, boost your self-esteem and improve your quality of life. You'll almost always find a 'hybrid' touch to our proposed activities. You'll be able to experience inclusion in sport by rubbing shoulders with veterans and people living with a disability during your activity-we're that inclusive!
All activities are offered in a friendly, respectful environment, and always free of charge.
Add to this, if you feel like it, the opportunity to consider volunteering with our core programs aimed at inclusion in sport for people living with a disability. The benefits of volunteering are priceless.
The majority of veterans who join our team of volunteers will tell you how much volunteering has positively changed their quality of life.
► 10% of all ASF volunteers are from a Canadian Armed Forces background
► veterans contribute to more than 20% of all ASF volunteer hours
Family is also important, so don't hesitate to contact the program coordinator to participate as a couple or with a family whenever possible.
Inclusion in sport is an integral part of veteran dedicated activities!
At every event dedicated to veterans, the ASF offers places for people living with a disability who will be supported with ASF veteran equipment and volunteers. This is an opportunity to demonstrate the true meaning of inclusion in sport and responsible use of ASF resources. If you know someone living with a disability in your area, please let them know to get in touch with us as soon as possible. Participation in these activities is open to people living with a disability, whether or not they are veterans.
To register for an activity in this context, contact the Veteran Program Coordinator by email at: veteran@sportsadaptes.ca.
Programme vétéran.e.s hiver 2025
On se souhaite évidemment de la belle neige pour profiter de l’hiver. Le programme vétéran hiver 2025 c’est des journées de ski dédiées aux vétérans à Québec, en Estrie et dans les Laurentides, un camp ski de deux jours, une sortie de rando alpine pour s’initier ou pour perfectionner la pratique, puis une activité de ski de fond adapté pour vétérans qui pratiquent le ski fond désireux d’assister au sein d’une équipe de bénévoles pour la Virée Nordique dans Charlevoix.
Pour participer comme vétéran à une activité ou bien pour donner du temps comme bénévole, procurez-vous la carte de membre FSA vétéran gratuitement. C’est ainsi qu’on s’assure de bien faire les choses, assurer votre couverture en assurance pour pratiquer nos activités et vous faire part de nos pratiques et politiques.

Notez qu’en vous inscrivant à plusieurs activités, il est possible qu’on communique avec vous pour vous donner une place en attente afin de donner la chance à un plus grand nombre de vétéran.e.s de participer, on vous demandera d’ailleurs quelle activité vous privilégiez. Mais cela ne devrait en rien freiner votre enthousiasme à vous inscrire.

Programme vétéran.e.s été 2024 – Complété
The plan for summer activities dedicated to veterans will include water sports days focusing on seated water skiing, to be held at St-Jean-sur-Richelieu on 10 July and 7 August 2024 (Montérégie) and at Lac St-Joseph on 5 and 29-30 and 31 July (Quebec City region). As each of these events will take place under the hybrid formula, participants living with a disability will be invited, whether veterans or not.
An event dedicated solely to women veterans will also be held early in the autumn, with more details to be announced as they become available.
The summer season will culminate in a recognition event for ASF veteran volunteers, which could take place over several days around the second week of September. More details will also be announced.
