Sailing Changes Lives
Some DSA sailors have had their lives changed dramatically due to physical injuries, and others live with medical conditions. But for all of them, through the DSA they have been able to experience the sense of independence and freedom that comes with adapted sailing.

How to Give
DSA supporters make it possible for the program to continue and offer a unique experience for people with physical disabilities.
There are many ways to support us in reaching our goal of bringing independence and quality of life to Canadians with a disability.
