Our Ambition

Over the past 10 years, PFC has helped create opportunities, break down barriers, and inspiring greatness, paving the way to IGNITE a brighter future for Para sport in Canada.

At the Paralympic Foundation of Canada, we imagine a future where Canadians with a disability are offered ample opportunities to experience the transformative power of sport.

As an integral funding partner of the Canadian Paralympic Committee, the Paralympic Foundation of Canada shares the same vision: an inclusive world through Paralympic sport. That’s why we’ve launched the ambitious IGNITE campaign—to raise $35 million and help make that vision a reality.

In 2025, the Paralympic Foundation of Canada proudly celebrates its 10th anniversary — a decade dedicated to igniting change, breaking down barriers, and inspiring greatness in Para sport across the country. Since its founding, the Foundation has worked to ensure that every Canadian with a disability has the chance to access sport and pursue their potential, from community programs to the Paralympic podium.

As we look to the future, we remain committed to building a more inclusive sport system and empowering the next generation of Para athletes. Together, we’re paving the way for an even brighter future for Para sport in Canada.

The Paralympic Foundation of Canada’s charitable registration number is 813904190RR0001.
