Today, the opening ceremony for the 2026 Winter Paralympics start at 1:30 p.m. ET on the CBC TV network and CBC Gem.

It's a milestone year -- the 50th Anniversary!! The anniversary serves as another opportunity for Ontario Athletic therapists to salute a long-time supporter of this profession in Ontario and the Canadian founder of the Paralympics movement, Dr. Robert Jackson. Dr. Robert W. Jackson (1932–2010) was an orthopedic surgeon and trailblazer who founded the Canadian Paralympic movement. The Ontario AT Association remembers Dr. Jackson fondly and with deepest respect for his leadership within sports medicine. He founded the Canadian Wheelchair Sport Association in 1967 and served as its first president. It was Jackson who gave the young AT profession in Ontario its first real boost by engaging us in the 1976 Toronto Olympiad.

Jackson was the driving force behind the Olympiad that featured 1,500 athletes from 40 countries, establishing a foundation for the modern Paralympic movement. Jackson spearheaded the creation of the Canadian Federation of Sports Organizations for the Disabled in 1981, which led to the Canadian Paralympic Committee in 1993.

Join all today in witnessing the Winter Paralympics 26 opening in Milano Cortina Olympics while cheering on our Canadian para athletes, their coaches, and therapists in the spirit of the not-for-gotten Dr. Robert Jackson.
