The Canadian Wheelchair Basketball Association is the National Sports Governing Body responsible for the organization of wheelchair basketball in Canada.
The CWBA is committed to providing opportunities for athletes with a disability to participate in a fully integrated sport program at the level they choose. It promotes growth at the initiation, developmental, competitive and elite levels, and offers programs for youth, women, men.
The CWBA believes that inclusion is fundamental to achieving equity and access in sport and therefore promotes the "sport for all" concept, encouraging athletes with a disability and able-bodied athletes to compete together on the same basketball court within a classification system. This system allows for fair and equitable competition for all.
Many young athletes come into the game as the result of an injury. CWBA programs allow these individuals an opportunity to continue to be included in a popular team sport activity with their friends.
