Abstract
The Calgary Adapted Hub Powered by Jumpstart (https://www.calgaryadaptedhub.com/) aspires to be the go-to resource for inclusive and accessible sport and recreation programming in the city of Calgary. With the support of several partners, the Hub connects individuals and families of those with impairments to opportunities for adapted sport and physical activity to gain confidence, build friendships, and get physically active in new and exciting ways. Programs supported by Calgary Adapted Hub are then backed by industry leaders and evidence-based research, with quality coaching and instruction at every level. For the past four years the Hub has conducted research on the three pillars of health and wellbeing, social inclusion and economic impact / quality of life. The Hub has also hosted online knowledge translation seminars named in honour of Eli Wolff. The Hub has recently undergone an in-depth strategic review and is now embarking on its next step of evolution with a focus on social impact. In this presentation, Dr. David Legg, the Hub’s founder will review the history of the Hub and how this new focus will have practical implications. This presentation will thus address creating new opportunities to thrive and more specifically on Health and Well-being / Health, Article 25, physical activity and Sustainable Cities and Communities, Article 30.5, sport and leisure, participation in organized sport and physical activity.
