Elite Athletes

Have there been more coaches, better facilities and increased access to help you compete at a higher level?

Recreational Sport Participants

Are there more options, more volunteers and better support to help you participate in your community?

Casual or Non-Sport Participants

Are you aware of more opportunities, more education and better support that would encourage participation?

Project Echo is an innovative and accessible web platform designed to build upon the momentum of a set of games. By keeping the conversation going with valuable stakeholders in the Parasport and recreation community, we can better identify the social impacts and recognize the lasting legacies of these celebratory and high-performance events for people with a disability.
