What We Do
- We serve children and adults with cerebral palsy, acquired brain injury, stroke, muscular dystrophy, and/or any similar or co-occurring disability.
- We provide them with free and low-cost programs, as well as free access to specialized sport equipment and assistive devices they require to participate.
- We reach all regions of Ontario through dynamic community-based and remote programs in the Paralympic sports of para-athletics (track and field) and boccia.
- We work with countless volunteers and delivery partners including local sport clubs, children’s treatment centres, schools, grassroots organizations, and municipal programs.
Our Impact
For more than 40 years, OCPSA has helped thousands of children and adults with cerebral palsy and similar disabilities to build healthy, active, and fulfilling lives through sport and physical activity programming, special projects, and support.
In a world of obstacles and challenges, we strive to create for them a world without boundaries where sport and physical activity programming is accessible, inclusive, and equitable.

Many companies offer matching gift programs to encourage employees to contribute to charities. Some companies will even match the contributions made by retirees and spouses. Most programs match donations dollar for dollar, but some will double or even triple the amount of your contribution.
To make a matching gift, please request a matching gift form from your Human Resources Department, complete it, and send it along with your gift to OCPSA: P.O. Box 60082, Ottawa, ON K1T 0K9. We will do the rest. It’s that easy. Your company will send its matching donation directly to OCPSA.
