Ottawa Ski Day

Wednesday, February 8, 2023

We’re back on the slopes! On Wednesday February 8, 2023, Spinal Cord Injury Ontario will host our third annual Ottawa Ski & Snowboard Day – a celebration of winter sports, inclusion and philanthropy on the slopes of Sommet Edelweiss in Wakefield, Quebec.

Join SCIO for a fun-filled day on the slopes! Come ski, snowboard or sit ski.

Ski & Snowboard Day is one of our exciting annual events. It is a fabulous opportunity for our community – clients and supporters – to come together to celebrate all that is possible! The event includes a full day on the slopes and a casual lunch. What makes this day so special is our partnership with Canadian Adaptive Snowsports (CADS) who help us run adaptive ski lessons for our clients so they can join in on the fun through a unique sit-skiing adventure.

Whether you shred regularly or are a newbie, the day is set to be a fun and inclusive experience.
