OUR VISION To achieve Excellence through Parasport. OUR VALUES Opportunity, Support, Empowerment, Excellence 2 A MESSAGE FROM OUR PRESIDENT I have had the honor of holding the position of President of the Board of WSA for the past nine months. In that time the Board along with our Executive Director have revamped our financial system, realigned our staff positions, reviewed and updated our bylaws, finalized a two-year strategic plan, and are hosting our first Wheelchair Rugby Nationals in May of this year. Our Board has been very active in all the decisions we have made and will continue to improve and grow WSA to better serve the athletes and organizations we support. I look forward to moving into next year with a healthy agenda of projects to assist in our growth. Andy Wigston EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS REPORT In 2017, Wheelchair Sports Alberta continued to support its mandate of supporting the five core sports in the delivery of wheelchair sports participation through out Alberta. 2017 was a year of growth in efficiency, strategic planning, and equity among the sports. This annual report provides a snap shot of the association’s activities. Jen Sales 3 Funding Program Overview Alberta Sports Connection Wheelchair Sports Alberta continues to receive provincial sport organization funding by Alberta Sports Connection Core Block and Canada Games grants. Grants WSA was approved for a CIP grant to purchase Para Athletics Equipment for $67,000. This grant will mostly be spent throughout 2018, and will go towards racing chairs, throwing chairs, and rollers. A grant was received from Canada Summer Jobs in support of bringing in a summer Marketing and Admin- istration position. This student helped with social media, brand- ing the strategic plan, as well as marketing and communica- tions. Fundraising WSA made a major change to our fundraising practices in 2017. The board decided to not continue to use JAMIC Inc. to manage the door to door campaign. We took a risk going with a new company (Lionhart Promotions) to run the door to door cam- paign and unfortunately the campaign was not successful. Later in the year we started working with Pivot Pointe, who currently operates the STARS Calendar Campaign. We have not started our Door to Door campaign yet with them, but are hoping to have it starting soon. Our Telemarketing campaign was a huge success in 2017, please see those details in the financial state- ments. AGLC We ran a successful casino in July. We had an overwhelming about of support from our clubs, members, and partners by volunteering for every position. Through this casino we re- ceived $76,000. This contribution will support Team Alberta’s development and competition fees. 4 BRIDGING THE GAP PROGRAM DEVELOPMENTAL PROGRAMS In all BTG activities: Rehab Sports Program, Have-A-Go Edmonton & Calgary Wheelchair Basketball – We con- Days, Multi-Sport Events, Developmental Sessions, and tinue to work with the WSA Regional Wheelchair Bas- School Presentations/Demonstrations.
