About ParaSport® Ontario

ParaSport® Ontario People

“ParaSport® Ontario supports all members of the disability community in finding their sport or activity of choice. There is a sport for everyBODY!”

James Murphy

ParaSport® Ontario Executive Director
Hi there, and welcome to ParaSport® Ontario! My name is James and I have a diverse background in sport and community partnerships, program leadership, and advocating for the benefits of physical activity and inclusion for everybody. As the Executive Director, I am passionate about finding a sport and active living opportunity for everyBODY.

As an organization we support members of the disability community in choosing their own parasport path. Even though it is individualized for each person, overall, the goals are the same - to increase physical activity participation, mental health, and quality of life for anyone with a disability.

ParaSport® Ontario is serious about getting you in the game, or back in the game, because parasports make fitness fun! There are plenty of parasports to try and we are here to get you started!

Daniel Vieira

Community Events Manager
Hi, my name is Daniel Vieira, and I am the Community Events Manager with ParaSport® Ontario. Growing up, I always had a passion for sports and helping others, leading me to study Sports Management at Brock University. After completing my Bachelor of Sports Management, I went on to pursue my Master of Business Administration at Brock. My event experiences include working with the Toronto Blue Jays and Rogers Hometown Hockey Events. I have also worked with marginalized communities through coordinating sport programming for people with disabilities in summer camps, teaching rugby to children on the Turks & Caicos Islands, as well as volunteer experiences with the Jays Care Foundation, the Brock Niagara Penguins and the Niagara Jr. Ice Dogs. I hope to use my passion and wealth of experience to increase access and participation in sport for people with disabilities.
