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 activities aim to break isolation, promote socialization in small groups, develop sports skills at your own pace, improve self-esteem, and enhance quality of life. Our programs often include a ‘hybrid’ dimension to promote sports inclusion by collaborating with veterans or people living with disabilities. All activities are offered free of charge in a friendly and respectful environment. Become a volunteer for our sports inclusion programs and gain invaluable experience. Most of our veteran volunteers report a positive impact on their quality of life.
- 10% of ASF volunteers come from the Canadian Armed Forces.
- Veterans represent more than 20% of volunteer hours at the ASF.
Participation as a couple or family is encouraged. For more details, contact the program coordinator.
Inclusion in sport is an integral part of activities dedicated to veterans!
During each activity dedicated to veterans, the ASF reserves spots for people living with disabilities. They will benefit from the support of ASF’s equipment and veteran volunteers. This initiative demonstrates our commitment to sports inclusion and the responsible use of ASF resources.
If you know someone living with a disability in your area, please recommend they contact us promptly. Participation in these activities is open to all people living with disabilities, even if they are not veterans
Our Summer Programs
The ASF summer program for veterans includes a variety of water sports activities, with a particular focus on seated water skiing. Our activities provide an inclusive environment where people living with disabilities, whether veterans or not, can participate and enjoy the support of our equipment and veteran volunteers.
We also offer a special activity dedicated to female veterans.
Details will be communicated later. The summer season will conclude with a celebration honoring ASF veteran volunteers, featuring a series of recognition activities.
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.
