🌟 Board Member Spotlight: Haley Baxter! 🌟

We’re thrilled to introduce Haley, a soon-to-be Kinesiology graduate from Acadia University whose passion for movement, rehabilitation, and helping others shines through everything she does.

Haley has always been driven to support people of all ages in living healthier, more active lives. When she learned about ParaPower Play, she knew instantly it was a place where she could make a difference — and we’re so grateful to have her on our team.

Please join us in welcoming Haley to the ParaPower Play family! 💙

United by Sport. Powered by Inclusion.

🌟 Board Member Spotlight 🌟

Behind every strong organization is a team of passionate individuals committed to making a difference. Today’s Board Member Spotlight shines on Maggie Locke a champion for inclusion, accessibility, and the growth of para sport.

Get to know their journey and the heart behind their involvement.



"My name is Maggie Locke, I am a PhD in Health student at Dalhousie University, where I get to work with children with disabilities and their families, supporting their access to inclusive sport and play opportunities. When I was in my undergrad at Queen’s University I got involved with an organization called Extra Awesome which paired children with disabilities and their siblings with students to go out into the community and engage in inclusive physical activity and sport. After a year volunteering with them, I became a board member and in my final year the president. This sparked a passion for me to continue supporting my community through research and volunteerism, working with amazing organizations through the years such as Blind Sport Canada, Easter Seals Nova Scotia, and now Para PowerPlay."

🌟 International Day of Persons with Disabilities

Today, we celebrate strength, inclusion, and the incredible power of community.

At Para Powerplay, we believe sport is more than a game — it’s connection, confidence, and a place where everyone belongs. Whether on a sled, in a wheelchair, or lacing up skates, everyone deserves the chance to shine, play, and be part of a team that lifts them up. 💙💚

To every athlete, family, volunteer, and supporter — thank you for helping us create a space where ability is celebrated, barriers are broken, and joy is shared.

💫 Empower. Include. Inspire.
Together, we make the game better. Together, we make it possible.
