Sport Description
At the end of World War II, society was confronted with an unusual number of veterans with physical disabilities. Wheelchair Basketball was first introduced at the 1995 Canada Winter Games in Grande Prairie, Alberta.
Basketball was one of the most adaptable team sports for athletes with disabilities, and began to be played in various parts of the world in the early 1940s.
Canada has dominated the sport of wheelchair basketball, on both the women’s and men’s side.
