Enjoy the beautiful weather!

NS Blind Hockey & Blind Sports NS are excited to share a new summer program for blind and visually impaired kids, teens, and adults of all experience & skill levels.

Blind Ball Hockey is a fun way to get active while learning blind hockey skills in the floor hockey format. It’s also a great way for blind ice hockey athletes to maintain their skills over the summer months. 

The ball is adapted to be audible to players, sticks always stay below the waist, and nets are half as tall as conventional.

Get all of the details here!

The Dartmouth Dragon Boat Association is offering dragon boat sessions for blind and partially sighted individuals who would like the opportunity to get out on the water for fun and fitness. 

Get all the details here!

We’re sending best wishes and a great time to the many members & friends of Blind Sports NS participating in this weekend’s Scotiabank Blue Nose Marathon events!

We’re not only getting active in an awesome atmosphere, but also raising awareness and funds in support of our programs and athletes.

Blind Sports NS’s Jennie Bovard recently sat down for a conversation about everything Blind Sports NS. Check out this great local podcast, Promoting a Cause, to learn about who we are and what we do. There are plenty of ways to support our members & programs, volunteering and donating to name a few! Comment or send us a message to find out more!
