The majority of people recognize health as one of the greatest wealth of life. Today, we are more and more aware of it. As a result, many of us are putting in the effort to keep ourselves in better physical shape - a healthier, more balanced diet, exercise, just to name a few. However, there is a problem when a disability prevents physical activity. A sedentary lifestyle is an even more important social problem among the portion of the population with a physical disability. In the greater Montreal area, there are only two organizations that promote physical activity and allow young people to play sports. The main mission of Juni-Sport is to promote active living and physical activity among people aged 7 or more with a physical disability.  

According to a study published in 2004 by the Canadian Institute for Health Information "Improving the Health of Canadians", the health status index of a person with a physical disability is improving of 10% just by increasing his or her level of physical activity. In comparison, the same study found that the same change in activity level leads to an increase of only 1% for Canadians without disabilities.  

Like most non-profit organizations and in order to continue our operations, we are seeking financial support from businesses in the region, as well as individuals.
