National Bank Champions
Standard-bearers of fighting pride and uncommon passion, the National Bank Champions have transformed their differences into strength. To the media and the public, they personify the very essence of the Défi sportif and they impress one and all thanks to their communication skills, their enthusiasm and their energy. All that makes them fantastic ambassadors of diversity and equity in the work place, two values espoused both by the National Bank and by the Défi sportif.
National Bank Champions Tour
For a fifth consecutive year, the National Bank Champions Tour will go all over Quebec. Organised by the Défi sportif in cooperation with the AERDPQ (Association of centres for physical disabilities rehabilitation of Québec), this great initiative favours the practice of sports by people living with disabilities. Further, it allows the establishment of links between rehabilitation professionals and sports federations and clubs. The AERDPQ groups together 20 institutions and reaches some 70,000 Quebecers. A partnership that proves to be a real winner with tangible results and bold projects!
