by Canadian Adaptive Snowsports
Canadian Adaptive Snowsports (CADS) was founded in 1976 by Jerry and Annie Johnston of Sunshine Village, Alberta, building on the first disabled ski programme in Canada established in 1963. Today CADS is the primary governing body for adaptive snow sports in Canada, operating as a national charity with divisions in every major province.
CADS delivers certified adaptive ski and snowboard instruction through its division network, maintains a four-level national instructor certification programme, and organises races and competitive events including an annual week-long international ski meet. The organisation serves participants at recreational and competitive levels.
CADS supports people with physical, visual, cognitive, and autism spectrum disabilities across all age groups and skill levels. In 2019 CADS had more than 5,200 members across Canada.
