The event will still offer many of the same amenities: The Bastian Jazz Band, The Naden Band, Yogurt, Coffee, Fruit Drinks, Fruit, Cookies, Ice Cream & BBQ, Draw Prizes, and much more! Take Up The Challenge!Scotiabank Wheelchair ChallengeThe Scotiabank Wheelchair Challenge is unique to Wheels In Motion and offers a meaningful and eye-opening way for your group or organization to support a great cause…while having fun! The Challenge is a fun and exciting experience where teams of five fundraise to meet a team goal and then gather on event day to compete in a relay and gain a better understanding of what it is like to navigate through life in a wheelchair. Teams race against the clock through an obstacle course and test their dexterity, maneuvering techniques and painting abilities. The fastest team wins. Sound easy? Perhaps not…you will have to do all this in a wheelchair!
