The Toronto Ski Hawks promote safe skiing for the visually impaired, blind and the deaf-blind. In 2003 we had the pleasure of joining track 3, a volunteer non-profit organization that teaches children and youth with disabilities to downhill ski and snowboard.
Although the club is recreation oriented, many of the club members participate in the Canadian Association for Disabled Skiers (C.A.D.S.) National Ski Championship races held in places such as Banff, Alberta and Kimberley, British Columbia. Through the years, the club has developed skiers who have won gold medals in both Alpine and Nordic events at the World Championships for Disabled Skiers.
Congratulations to Olympic torch carrier Cameron Knox, thirteen year old blind skier and member of the Ski Hawks.
You did us proud.
