In
September, 1990, the first Wheelchair Basketball
clinic was held in Grande Prairie with the help of
Joe Higgins, Ron McKay and Dan Brinton. Wheelchair
basketball began that November at the Grande Prairie
Regional College and the enthusiasm and motivation
fuelled it’s fast growth in Grande Prairie. In just
one year, there was a Junior program at Crystal Park
School and an exhibition tournament took place here
in Grande Prairie with the Junior Lights from
Edmonton. |
