Representatives from each Province elect the Board of Directors. The CWBA is in the business of promoting excellence and developing opportunities for Canadians in the game of wheelchair basketball. The CWBA is committed to providing opportunities for athletes with a disability to participate in a fully integrated sport program at the level they choose. It promotes growth at the initiation, developmental, competitive and elite levels, and offers programs for youth, women, men. This system allows for fair and equitable competition for all.
Many young athletes come into the game as the result of a spinal cord injury.
CWBA programs allow these individuals an opportunity to continue to be included in a popular team sport activity with their friends. A fully integrated league, it features male and female athletes with and without a disability playing together in a spirit of competition and camaraderie. The open division II starts in September and culminates in the league finals in April. Club teams from across the country compete in conferences to gain a spot at the finals where eight teams vie for the national title. Past winners have came from Calgary, Edmonton, Ottawa, Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, and Kitchener.
