The equipment purchased comes in two forms: seated and kneeling, with customizable features to support the participants.\u00a0 The dryland sit ski has wheels similar to a mountain board that goes off-roading on hiking trails around Arrowhead Provincial Park and comes with bicycle hand brakes.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In December, Arrowhead hosted the first integrated coaching with a disability program with the Community Coach stream.&nbsp; Arrowhead had three-time Canada Winter Games para Nordic medalist Tanya Quesnel working with the para participants. Tanya is a certified National Coach Certification Program coach trained in working with athletes with a disability. She was instrumental in the success of participant development by leading in her sit ski.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Eagle Para program was developed to give children with disabilities (wheelchair, amputee, and visually impaired) an opportunity to have a similar pathway to learn the skills to become competent and confident in skiing on trails around Arrowhead. The Eagle program had three participants who were all sit skiers. The four-week program started in December with a general information session and sizing of equipment before the first on-snow exercise.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"730\" height=\"403\" src=\"https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2024\/04\/Cowan_2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-152581\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1.8114143920595533;width:474px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2024\/04\/Cowan_2-300x166.jpg 300w, https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2024\/04\/Cowan_2-543x300.jpg 543w, https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2024\/04\/Cowan_2-600x331.jpg 600w, https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2024\/04\/Cowan_2-630x348.jpg 630w, https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2024\/04\/Cowan_2.jpg 730w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 730px) 100vw, 730px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>The participants quickly learned basic skills, enabling them to enjoy the same activities as the Bunny Rabbit and Jack Rabbits while exploring the trails and terrain of Arrowhead.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over the course of the program, skiers were introduced to two members of the national Nordiq Canada\u2019s paralympic team, including local world champions Collin Cameron and Christina Picton who sent their video messages from Canmore to help inspire the new participants.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Collin Cameron from Port Sydney\/Bracebridge was the 2023 Federation International Ski (FIS) Crystal Globe Para Nordic Champion and took gold at the FIS World Para Nordic Sprints in Prince George last month.&nbsp;Christina Picton from Font Hill, and former Captain of the Canadian Women\u2019s sledge hockey team, has been sit skiing for three years and won bronze at several FIS competitions this past year, including a bronze at the FIS World Championships in Prince George.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the last session of the season, the participants were able to put all of their skills to use by navigating a ski playground established between the Visitor Center and the Pavilion.&nbsp; After the session, the para participants, coaches, and sponsors had a wrap-up pizza party and had an opportunity to learn about the next steps in the pathway of para Nordic skiing. The participants completed the first two levels of the Para Nordic Skills Development Program and can return for another season to continue building their skills or try some other challenges involving racing at local-level events.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"730\" height=\"366\" src=\"https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2024\/04\/Cowan_3.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-152582\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1.994535519125683;width:437px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2024\/04\/Cowan_3-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2024\/04\/Cowan_3-598x300.jpg 598w, https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2024\/04\/Cowan_3-600x301.jpg 600w, https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2024\/04\/Cowan_3-630x316.jpg 630w, https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2024\/04\/Cowan_3.jpg 730w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 730px) 100vw, 730px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Arrowhead Provincial Park is the first park to identify Para Nordic ski trails both on the official trail map with an adaptive sports equipment sit skier logo on the Rowe trail and the placement of the trail signs at a lower height for sit skiers to follow.\u00a0 As a result of hosting the Eagle Para program, Ontario Parks has purchased the same sit ski brand and model for rent for next year&#8217;s ski season.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This Eagle program could not have happened without the support of the Arrowhead Nordic Ski Club, Arrowhead Provincial Park, One Kids Place, and the Para Nordic participants and their families.&nbsp; Thank you to Dana Murdy, owner and pharmacist of Huntsville Shoppers Drug Mart, for her sponsorship of the inaugural Eagle Para program.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<h5 style=\"text-align: center;\">Don\u2019t miss out on Doppler!<\/h5>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Sign up <a href=\"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/dont-miss-out-on-doppler\/\"><u>here<\/u><\/a> to receive our email digest with links to our most recent stories.<br \/>\nLocal news in your inbox so you don&#8217;t miss anything!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a style=\"background: #5cb85c url('https:\/\/d1iczxrky3cnb2.cloudfront.net\/red_logo.png') no-repeat 37px; color: #fff; text-decoration: none; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; display: inline-block; font-size: 16px; padding: 15px 38px; padding-left: 75px; -webkit-border-radius: 2px; -moz-border-radius: 2px; border-radius: 2px; box-shadow: 0 1px 0 0 #1f5a89; text-shadow: 0 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3);\" href=\"https:\/\/donorbox.org\/support-huntsville-doppler\">Click here to support local news<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><broadstreet-zone zone-id=\"45657\" keywords=\"\" soft-keywords=\"true\" zone-alias=\"\"><\/broadstreet-zone>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By John Cowan Arrowhead Provincial Park hosted Canada\u2019s first pilot project for Nordiq Canada, integrating a Para Nordic Skills Development Program called the Eagles Para Program.&nbsp; The motto of the [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1904,"featured_media":152585,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-152577","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-sports"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.8 -
