Canadian Association for Disabled Skiing
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
CADS is an acronym for the Canadian Association for Disabled Skiing, a volunteer driven organization dedicated to "assisting individuals with a disability to lead richer and fuller lives through active participation in recreational and competitive snow skiing and snowboarding". The organization is frequently just referred to as "Cads".
CADS is the national level organization comprising 11 divisions -- one for each of 10 provinces and one for the National Capital Region. In 2006 there were more than 3000 members committed to the idea that Skiing is for Everyone and Everone can Ski!
More information on this not-for-profit organization can be obtained from their web site: [1].
Disabled skiing can also be referred to as adaptive skiing.
We encourage the divisions to add a brief statement of their organization below.
CADS is also an acronym for the "Clare Amateur Dramatics Society" based in Clare, Suffolk, UK. They are a small amateur dramatics group who have been running for over 70 years and perform plays, pantomimes and also put on entertainment evenings from time to time.
