 MPP to announce funding for local charity that redefines how schools in Quinte Region deliver physical activity to children with and without disabilities. 

WHAT – On Friday, July 18th at 2:00 p.m., Bay of Quinte MPP Tyler Allsopp will be at the Quinte Sports & Wellness Centre as the Ontario Cerebral Palsy Sports Association (OCPSA) celebrates the expansion of Rolling Success—a transformative school-based program that engages students of all abilities TOGETHER in meaningful physical activity using two inclusive ‘rolling-based’ para-sports as the catalyst: boccia and frame running. 

MPP Tyler Allsopp and an OTF volunteer will attend the event to highlight OCPSA’s innovative work in Quinte Region schools made possible by a Grow Grant from OTF. 

Lorette Dupuis, President/Chair of OCPSA, will share remarks on the Rolling Success program and its expected impact in the community.
