Notable Athletes
In its 2017-2022 Strategic Plan, the CDSA developed an important strategic direction: Contribute to promoting Deaf and hard of hearing sports in Canada. Contribute to creating a sense of belonging and recognition among Deaf and hard of hearing athletes, former athletes and CDSA through various social media outlets and communications tools used by the CDSA.
We are proud to introduce notable athletes for each Canadian province and the performances they realized during international sport events sanctioned by the International Committee of Sports for the Deaf (ICSD).
