For Paralympian Jolan Wong, the “sense of community” is what makes a for great games experience? On the heels of returning from the 2024 Paris Paralympics with a bronze medal performance in the women’s sitting volleyball event, her next parasport goal is to achieve another podium finish at the 2028 Paralympics in Los Angeles.

Self-described as optimistic and determined, Wong is a full-time mom of three. She home-schools her children while finding time to be active in her community of Pembroke, Ont., teaching sitting volleyball in schools and public speaking. She has also studied to be a personal fitness trainer.
