Wheelchair Floorball in Vancouver
March 24 @ 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm PT
Gear up to meet with the BC Wheelchair Floorball Association on March 24th, from 12 to 1 pm! The BC Wheelchair Floorball Association was formed in 2016 to foster a community of inclusion and teamwork. This charity is run by a dedicated group of volunteers from the community who are committed to providing a safe and entertaining experience for those who come to play the game!
Kyle Gieni is a T-4 Paraplegic who was injured at 21 in a bicycle incident, leaving him in a wheelchair for mobility ever since. He currently works out at the PARC Fitness Centre in Vancouver, where the gym is all set up for adapted users. He has also performed in shows, including The Good Doctor, So Help Me Todd, and Sight Unseen, which are all filmed locally. He is currently getting ready for his 5th marathon on May 4th in Vancouver, where he will be using ski poles and his manual day chair. His goal is to ultimately be the fastest wheelchair user in the world!
Please note, this session will be closed 10 minutes after the start time to prevent disruption. Please be on time, or you can watch the recording on YouTube or Facebook afterwards.
