Call- ing it an “arena”, as it is often referred to, would be a mis- take, considering the scope of the activities that will be available in the building. Almost six months after the commencement of con- struction in August, the sports centre is almost 60% com- pleted and needs only three more months of work to reach inauguration time, scheduled for the end of April or beginning of May. “We call it a sports centre because the building will be used year-around. The rink will be used for hockey in the winter, but there will be a Photo: G.

In 1952, the Netherlands joined the competition and an international movement was born. The very first Olympic style Games for athletes with a disability were organized in Rome in 1960. In Toronto in 1976, other disability groups, other than spinal cord injuries, were added and the idea of merging various disability groups for international sport competitions began. In the same year, the first Paralympic Winter Games took place in Sweden. Today, the Paralympics are elite sport events for athletes from six different disability groups.
