Two-time Paralympian Shane Risto has been an outstanding para-athlete and has coached many young athletes to greatness. Working with ParaSport Ontario, Shane provides support and adaptive programming opportunities to make sure everyone is included and can find a way to play or participate in the sport of their choice.
Hi, I'm Shane. The world of parasport is ever-growing, and the greatest thing is that there is an opportunity for everyone. Sport has opened opportunities for me and taught me so much. It is now your chance to feel the thrill and power of parasport. I'd be delighted 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.
