Wheelchair Loan Program
About this resource
Wheelchair Loan Program access to appropriate sports wheelchairs and equipment is a major barrier for people with disabilities looking to get involved in wheelchair sports. A basic sports wheelchair costs over $3000 and specialized wheelchairs can cost even more. At BCWSA, we don't want financial barriers to leave anyone on the sidelines. That's why we have a comprehensive wheelchair loan program that offers athletes of all ages, sports, shapes and sizes access to proper sports wheelchairs and equipment. Wheelchairs can be rented for a very low yearly rate.
