Join us for a morning of cross country skiing and winter fun in Collaboration with Winnipeg Trails Association, Fort Whyte Alive, and Accessible Sport Connections Manitoba . It is proudly funded by Access Credit Union.

Fort Whyte is GORGEOUS this time of year. There will be skis, kicksleds and ahkios to try for all ages and sizes starting at 10:00am - 1:00 pm. For those in need of adapted equipment*, we have various styles of sit ski and wheel blades but also make sure to check out the programming later the same afternoon starting at 1:00 pm - 3:30 pm..

We will have warm drinks, warm snacks, even painting supplies and, of course, good company. Throughout the day, guests can try out different equipment, chat with subject matter experts, warm up and recharge with hot chocolate and bannock roasting (while supplies last).

Families are welcome to visit the indoor colouring station, a cozy spot for kids to take a break, get creative, and warm up before heading back out onto the trails.

What an incredible time at Cycleloopia. We’re so proud to have collaborated with Winnipeg Trails and Accessible Sport Connection Manitoba to bring people together and celebrate the joy of inclusive cycling.

Meet our Co-Founder and Chief Executive Director Oleksandr Korniiko, who shared his story with the world.

"They said I would never walk.
They said I should give up.

But step by step, rep by rep, I turned pain into power.
From a hospital bed ➝ to the Paralympic stage ➝ to building a platform that helps others rise.

This is not just my story.
It’s proof that when someone says “you can’t” they’re only talking about their limits, not yours.

That’s why we built UpGoal: to help you break barriers, discover strength, and chase the impossible.

Because nothing is impossible. Not for me. Not for you".

DID YOU KNOW?

In Manitoba, almost 1 in 3 people live with a disability(29.2%) — that’s nearly a third of the population. According to StatCan, this number has risen steadily over the years, reflecting a significant upward trend in disability prevalence.

Despite this, participation in sports, exercise, and outdoor activities among people with disabilities remains very low. In fact, only 1 in 6 Manitobans with a disability are physically active. This gap highlights ongoing barriers that limit opportunities for inclusion and participation in recreation and movement.

The most common barriers to participation include:
65%: Health conditions
24%: Cost of programs
12%: Needing assistance
11%: Inaccessible transportation
7%: Lack of local programs
5–6%: Inaccessible facilities or equipment

These numbers remind us that accessibility isn’t just about removing physical barriers—it’s about creating supportive, affordable, and inclusive environments where everyone has the chance to stay active, healthy, and connected.

At UpGoal Foundation, we believe that sport and recreation are powerful tools for building community, confidence, and overall well-being. Together, we can work towards breaking down these barriers and making active living possible for everyone.

UpGoal Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting inclusive physical activity, social connection and recreational opportunities for people of all ages with physical and mental disabilities from Indigenous communities, newcomers, 2SLGBTQIA+, and every other interested individuals.

Our mission is to support people with disabilities in leading active and healthy lifestyles through recreational programs tailored to their abilities. By partnering with community organizations and sponsors, we aim to foster a supportive environment that motivates participants to achieve personal goals—physically, emotionally, and socially.

We envision a future where diversity is celebrated, abilities are embraced, and everyone, regardless of background or ability, has access to inclusive recreation and community engagement. A world where everyone—regardless of ability—has equal access to recreational opportunities, community belonging, and personal growth through movement, play, and sport.
