Cortney Benedict, co-ordinator for the Bridging the Gap program which promotes wheelchair sports opportunities for youths, said if just one person becomes interested, then the program is working.
A few local youths showed interest during Saturday's introductory wheelchair sports session at the North Bay YMCA, including 11-year-old Taylor Stinson.
Taylor, a Grade 6 student at South Shore Education Centre, spent the afternoon learning the basics of wheelchair tennis and basketball, before spending more than half an hour playing a scrimmage basketball game against her pesky nine-year-old brother, Quincy.
