What happens when sport is built around inclusion instead of expecting athletes to fit into the game?

In this webinar, Emma Brown, Whimble founder, sits down with Meghan Hines, Co-Founder and President of PowerHockey Canada, to explore how adaptive sports can create powerful spaces for leadership and confidence, while building community.
