is a new provincial basketball program that aims to enhance the fitness
and ability levels of youth athletes from across the province.
The
Four Corners program will serve to provide quality competition to
school and community youth athletes with intellectual disabilities
across the province and provide a vehicle for continued success for
these athletes through advancement to a provincial final competition.
This exercise will bring together athletes from the four corners
(northern, eastern, southern and western Ontario). Additionally this
program will leave an ongoing legacy by fostering competition
coordination capacity through partnerships with local community colleges
and universities. As well, the creation of ActiveStart and FUNdamentals
programming within local community partners, further raising awareness
of the opportunities presented by sport for children and youth with
intellectually disablities.
