Adapted sports: have fun and be healthy!

The annual MUSCO event is back for a fourth edition on Saturday, March 25, 2023, from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

This event is primarily aimed at parents, families and caregivers of children with a physical disability who play adapted sports at different levels, or who are interested in them and wish to learn more about the subject. Professionals are also welcome to attend if they wish to learn more about the resources available to and issues faced by the families they work with.

Thanks to the collaboration of the teams of four Montreal pediatric centers, namely, the CHU Sainte-Justine, its Marie Enfant Rehabilitation Centre, the Montreal Children's Hospital and the Shriners Hospitals for Children - Canada, this event will once again bring together families, professionals, organizations and partners to discuss a unifying theme.
