"When people think of people with disabilities, they always think in terms of limitations. They never think about the possibilities." - Toronto Blind Tennis player
"I was told that I didn't fit the 'demographic'. That scarred me after he said that. It is a reminder, that based on me being BLACK, I don't make the cut. This is the reason I coach now, so this doesn't happen to anyone of color." - founding member of Change Through Sport
2021 Collaboration with Teen Haven & Tennis Québec
On November 3, 2021, Change Through Sport visited Verdun, Québec, to host a tennis workshop with youth from Teen Haven, a non-profit residential group home dedicated to the welfare and support of youth in need.
Despite the fading light and cool temperatures, the event was filled with fun and, of course, a healthy dose of teenage wit! Thank you Teen Haven for having us. We look forward to visiting again to further support the amazing work that you do.
Please visit the website of Teen Haven to learn more about their incredible work. We would also like to recognize Tennis Québec, the provincial governing body of tennis in Québec, for supporting this engagement.

Le 3 novembre 2021, Changer par le Sport s’est rendu à Verdun, au Québec, pour animer un atelier de tennis avec des jeunes de Havre Jeunesse, un foyer de groupe résidentiel sans but lucratif dédié au bien-être et au soutien des jeunes dans le besoin. Malgré la lumière qui s’estompe et les températures fraîches, l’événement était rempli de plaisir et, bien sûr, d’une bonne dose d’esprit adolescent! Merci Havre Jeunesse de nous avoir reçus. Nous sommes impatients de vous rendre visite à nouveau pour soutenir davantage le travail incroyable que vous faites.
Veuillez visiter le site Web de Havre Jeunesse pour en savoir plus sur leur travail exceptionnel. Nous tenons également à remercier Tennis Québec, la fédération provinciale de tennis au Québec, d’avoir soutenu cet engagement.
