Alberta’s own Kasey Aiello — a proud member of the Northern Lights and Wheelchair Sports Alberta — is set to hit the court with Team Canada’s Women’s Wheelchair Rugby Program! 🇨🇦

As she represents Canada on the world stage, we couldn’t be prouder to have her carry Alberta’s spirit and determination with her to Prague!

Let’s cheer her on as she continues to make an impact both at home and abroad!
