SINGAPORE NATIONAL PARA GAMES (SNPG)

Transcription

1 INTRODUCTION Dear friends, More than 10 years has passed since SDSC first organized the National Disability League (NDL) to bring likeminded Persons with Disabilities together through local community competitions. Over the years, the league has transformed in tandem with the changing landscape in Singapore. From NDL to the Singapore National Para Games (SNPG), and then partnerships with GetActive Singapore campaigns and Singapore National Games, we are heartened to see public agencies and the general public at large embracing equality increasingly. This year, our partnership with the Singapore National Games saw para events offered in 9 sports (archery, athletics, badminton, basketball, boccia, bowling, football, swimming, table tennis) as part of the wide array of activities. For sports that were not integrated into the national campaign such as cycling, equestrian, goalball, lawn bowls and shooting, we partnered interest groups to build community capabilities for sustainable action. 3 November 2018 (Saturday) would mark the close of our 2018 SNPG campaign. We will be closing with three final community games (Goalball, Boccia and Cycling) as well as a mini festival at Singapore Sports Hub. At the festival, participants would be able to have a go at different stations where they can record a Talent Report Card, and redeem small prizes, and a commemorative medal, if they complete the medal stations. We are grateful to be able to bring you the SNPG 2018 campaign with the support of our donor, Haw Par Corporation Limited. We look forward to having you join us as we count down to the end of Warmest regards, (SDSC) ENTRY PACK CONTENT This Entry Pack contains information and registration forms for: (A) Community Games Goalball, Cycling, Boccia (B) Find Your Talent Festival 1
