The Canadian Paralympic Committee (CPC) has announced two dates where it will try to identify future potential Paralympic athletes.

In collaboration with the Canadian Olympic and Paralympic Sport Institute Network, the CPC will take its Paralympian search to Vancouver on October 22 and Toronto on November 26.

It is a one-day event offering people with a disability the chance to test their abilities and discover which Paralympic sports they are best suited for.

The event also welcomes current or former athletes from all levels aiming to transfer into a new Paralympic sport.

Those already in Para-sport are also welcome to attend in a bid to find another discipline that can complement their main event.

The event is open to people with a physical disability or a visual impairment, aged 14 to 35.

Registration is free and can be done here.

Along with discovering their competence in a variety of skills, participants will have the chance to meet Paralympic athletes, hear their stories and see their medals.

In Vancouver Trevor Hirschfield, the three-time Paralympian in wheelchair rugby will be in attendance.

Brad Bowden, five-time Paralympian in Para-ice hockey and wheelchair basketball, will make an appearance in Toronto.
