(january 17, 2010 " thunder bay, on) 阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 associate professor tom potter, from the school of outdoor recreation, parks and tourism, found that special olympics ontario would introduce a unified sport day to the 2011 thunder bay winter provincial games and knew it would be a perfect fit for his class. when approached, his 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 embraced the task of planning and implementing a unified sport day where people with and without an intellectual disability participate in sport together.
the fourth-year therapeutic recreation and adventure therapy class committed to begin their work last fall, two months prior to the official start date of their course, by participating in a special olympics national coaching certification programme (nccp) weekend course to gain the skills and qualifications they needed to develop and implement programs for unified sport day. in addition to their class hours, these 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 have contributed a great number of volunteer hours in planning, training, and orientation.
the unified sport day class is led by lindley sutherland working with event leads andrea carbone, cassandra noyes, and kaitlyn teszeri. in addition to tom potter's class, several 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 from teresa socha's curriculum and instruction in physical and health education class and jane taylor's adapted physical activity class supported the unified sport day efforts by signing on as team assistants. other 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 from lakehead's school of kinesiology and 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 from the recreation therapy program at confederation college havealso registered to be unified day partners.
"it's been a wonderful learning experience for us," said class lead lindley sutherland. "we were given free rein to plan and organize this event and we hope that the real day will prove to be fun and enjoyable for all participants and our thunder bay audience. our whole class is just so supportive of the special olympics movement and this was a great way to help out."
sheryl huestis, special olympics ontario, northern ontario district developer, worked closely with the class and has no doubt about the exceptional work the class has done. "the class put together outstanding plans. they have been the very backbone of this event and working with these young adults and their teachers has been a very enjoyable and educational experience for me."
president and ceo of special olympics ontario, glenn macdonell echoed this sentiment: "the support from 阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 has been nothing short of remarkable. special olympics truly appreciates the support and effort that both 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 and faculty have put towards our games and our organization."
阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 is proud of the hard work, dedication and commitment of these 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 and faculty and looks forward to a continued relationship with special olympics ontario long after the thunder bay games.
