Description

AlterGo (before Regional Association for the Recreation of Disabled Persons of the Island of Montreal) was born, as is the case of many organizations, of a need. In this particular instance, the need of a segment of the population to greater representation in the field of sports and recreation. The need for a group of citizens to be able to make choices concerning their leisure activities independent of their social standing, their age or their gender. While this would seem basic in its intention and more often than not easily solved, for disabled persons the obstacles encountered, be they physical or systemic are all too often overwhelming. And yet, it is through adversity and a desire to be heard that vices will join together and grow in intensity, until finally those obstacles that once seemed insurmountable begin to be overcome; slowly but surely; one by one. The Association is a clear, strong voice that represents many others who for too long a time had gone unheard and neglected.
