| Name | Para-Equipment Fund |
|---|---|
| Fund Type | Grant |
| Purpose | The PEF aims to assist local and provincial organizations in delivering recruitment programming. It is designed to facilitate the participation of an increased number of people with a disability in parasport by expanding the availability of introductory-based equipment, particularly for first contact and equipment loan programs. |
| Interest | The allocation of funds is awarded based on a two-tier system. Tier I refers to adaptive equipment used by the individual to participate in parasport (e.g. sit-ski or hockey sledge). Tier II refers to mainstream sport equipment (e.g. standard skis or a basketball), as it is less cost-prohibitive than adaptive equipment. Tier II equipment is only funded if there are funds remaining after the allocation of grants for Tier I equipment. |
