WHAT WE DO

Toronto Accessible Sports Council (TASC)

Toronto Accessible Sports Council (TASC) was established to connect persons with a disability and their support network with organizations and programs that deliver adapted sport and recreation in Toronto. We help this diverse group of program facilitators better coordinate services through partnerships and collaboration, while increasing awareness of their services to the disabled community across the city.
