Who is OCPSA?
We believe in the value of sport, that sport builds success in all aspects of life. We provide, promote and coordinate competitive opportunities as well as encourage individual excellence through sport for athletes within the cerebral palsy family. To that end, OCPSA recruits, develops and supports athletes, coaches and volunteers.
OCPSA envisions a future where athletes with disabilities are an integral part of the sporting realm. In an ever-changing environment, we are committed to treating members and partners with integrity and respect, increasing public awareness and advocating for equal opportunity in sport.
