Animation Zone
From April 28 to May 2, everyone was welcomed to immerse themselves in the festive atmosphere of the Défi sportif AlterGo animation zone! Located on the 2nd floor of the Complexe sportif Claude-Robillard, the animation zone was a place for encounters and discoveries where visitors and athletes alike can learn about adapted sports and enjoy a variety of interactive activities.
Whether it’s trying out a sport, entertaining the kids, or simply exploring the world of the Défi sportif AlterGo, the animation zone had a rich and inclusive program in store for you!
Loto-Québec Sports Trial Zone
To fully understand the intensity and scope of adapted sports, you have to experience them yourself! This is why we encouraged everyone to come and try out a multitude of disciplines, such as boccia, wheelchair basketball, wheelchair rugby, seated volleyball, para hockey, carpet curling, and rock climbing.
Each of these activities gave you a better understanding of the skills required to practice these demanding sports. It’was the perfect opportunity to push your limits and put yourself in a para-athlete’s shoes, all in a fun and friendly atmosphere.
Dive into the Animation Zone
The animation zone featured a variety of activities to entertain and inform visitors of all ages: dancing, face painting, photo booths, cooking workshops, virtual exhibitions, interactive games, and more.
The Centre for Interdisciplinary Research in Rehabilitation of Greater Montreal presented an interactive kiosk where the general public can learn more about inclusive environments, Braille, Quebec sign language, and inclusive gestures. Finally, all visitors were able to discover the Jooay application, which helps users find adapted activities.
