Why It Matters
Neurodivergent youth face many barriers when trying new sports: cost, sensory overwhelm, unpredictable environments, and not knowing what to expect.
This guide helps remove those barriers so more families can experience the joy and community curling has to offer.
Proceeds from every purchase directly support our Inclusive Curling programming, helping us:
-
-
- Keep participant fees low
- Provide sensory supports, comfort items, and learning materials
- Train volunteers
- Expand to more clubs across Canada
-
Your purchase not only equips you to host a successful event, it also helps ensure that cost is not another barrier limiting neurodivergent kids from trying a sport they might love.
By using this guide, you’re helping create meaningful opportunities for athletes who are often left out of mainstream programs.
