Organizers from the Whistler Adaptive Sports Program (WASP) hosted 40 injured or ill soldiers from four different countries for this year's expanded Soldier On winter program, aimed at helping military personnel return to an active lifestyle through sport and recreation.
The Soldier On program was founded in 2007 as a joint initiative between the Department of National Defence and the Canadian Paralympic Committee (CPC), which helped organize this year's winter program in Whistler for the first time.
Last Tuesday night the participants took part in a sledge hockey hockey final at Whistler Olympic Park and photographer David Buzzard was on hand to capture the following slideshow.
