Breaking down barriers

'CADS is more than just a sport; it’s a lifeline, a community of support, hope, and growth' —Lise-Anne (Lincolns mom)

At CADS - Canadian Adaptive Snowsports, we believe that change begins with YOU. Every act of generosity—whether it’s a donation, a shared message, or your time—helps us break barriers and create opportunities for persons with disabilities. Together, we can build a world that’s more inclusive, compassionate, and full of possibilities.

CADS Inspirations

Don't take our word for it!

My son Jamie participates in CADS because he needs a little extra help on the hill. CADS has helped him get past the challenges of autism and find freedom and success on the hill. CADS has been a life changer not only for Jamie, but for our whole family!

I loved getting to meet all sorts of different people, and getting to know my CADS Ski Instructors at Festival. They were so kind, helpful, and so much fun to be around. Now... let’s talk about that award. Canadian Skier of the year! Never in a million years did I think I would receive an award like that in my life. I still struggle to wrap my mind around it! It was a great honor, and certainly a huge surprise.

The 'all inclusive nature' of the CADS organization (Instructors, volunteers, athletes and families) are diverse, and we truly felt that all were inclusive. There seemed to be no judgement of others. This is something most groups strive for, but as you know rarely can achieve.
