Chris became an amputee at the age of 38 after years of chronic pain. He was told that the odds were against him being able to live an active life as an amputee. Now a multi-sport athlete who competes provincially in Sledge Hockey and Sitting Volleyball, Chris is also an avid paragolfer.
Hi, I am Chris. It’s my goal to be as active as possible as a para-athlete so I can share my story and help other people with physical disabilities be more active too. I’d be happy to hear from you.
We acknowledge the land on which ParaSport® Ontario was built is the Treaty Lands and Territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit and the traditional territory of the Anishinaabe, the Wendat, and the Haudenosaunee peoples, many of whom continue to live and work here today. This territory is covered by the Upper Canada Treaties and is within the land protected by the Dish with One Spoon Wampum agreement to peaceably share and care for the resources around the Great Lakes. Today Toronto (also known as Tkaronto) is home to many First Nations, Metis, and Inuit peoples and acknowledging reminds us that our great standard of living is directly related to the resources and friendship of Indigenous people.
