Veterans Program

We offer a program specifically designed for veterans, including water skiing, alpine skiing, and much more. This program not only provides sports activities but also allows veterans to get involved in the foundation

For both veteran participants and volunteers, a valid lifetime ASF membership card is required.

Our activities for veterans

Our program fosters socialization among women and men veterans in a trusting environment, while supporting the development or recovery of sports skills at a comfortable pace. It helps strengthen self-esteem, quality of life, and inclusion by also welcoming individuals living with a disability. All activities take place in a warm, respectful, and accessible setting.

All activities are free and open to people living with a disability, whether they are veterans or not. They benefit from the support of ASF’s veteran volunteers.

Do you know someone who might be interested? Invite them to get in touch with us.

For more information, please contact the program coordinator.


Becoming a Volunteer: A Natural Next Step

Many veterans choose to get involved as volunteers after participating in the program. They become companions, logistical helpers, or even activity leaders for certain events.

  • Approximately 10% of ASF volunteers are from the Canadian Armed Forces.
  • Volunteering is possible individually, as a couple, or as a family.
  • It’s a meaningful way to share your experience while supporting other participants.

Our Summer Programs

Each summer, the Adaptive Sports Foundation (ASF) offers a free and inclusive adapted sports program for veterans of the Canadian Armed Forces and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.

In a friendly and respectful atmosphere, this program provides an opportunity to reconnect with action, rediscover the joy of sport, and build strong bonds with other members of the community.

Our Winter Programs

The ASF winter program brings together nearly fifty veterans, volunteers, and people living with disabilities. Our winter activities include alpine skiing days, organized in a ski safari format. These events take place in various resorts, such as Valinouët, Stoneham, and Vallée du Parc.

We also offer an introductory camp to alpine hiking and familiarization with adapted alpine skiing at Massif du Sud in Chaudière-Appalaches, which have been very successful.

The ASF believes that veteran volunteers regain a sense of accomplishment and belonging to a mission greater than themselves. They are offered two life missions: reconnecting with nature through outdoor activities and helping individuals living with disabilities. These enriching experiences strengthen social bonds and promote inclusion and well-being.
